I guess that's what we do all the time in the forum...

localization is important for me, as I use SMath for teaching and I want the students to stick to national standards (or international ones and that includes writing in english, which most of them feel not comfortable with - that's why the handbook is in german).

Due to the central location of settings it is not easy to maintain uptodate installations with different settings for testing. I feel much relieved by using the portable ("linux" ) version with plugins, that allows installation of plugins on the fly without being asked for admin rights. However, this version does not have any settings file in the install dir.

Another issue:
I get problems with co-existing plot regions from the plugin and smath internal. See attached file. The first image is generated by save as and seems to be ok, the display however, is buggy (second image).

This does not happen with the example by Ber7.

Update: + Expand/Collapse All in formatting form context menu.
Let's look again. Create each of you a simple sm-file (not smz) with one X-Y Plot and attach it to your message.

Here is my test file.

- formatting problem persists,
- undefined values (ln for negative x) add a spurious dataset and disable plotting.
- wrong position of (x-2)^2 curve and matrix in the plugin demo EDIT: they belong to y2, I did not guess that from the plot and failed to check prior to complaining...)

Some of the properties can be changed with the mousewheel. Some of them seem to loose mouse focus after a change, such that the mousewheel does not have any effect until the cell is clicked again (e.g. in the line color tab )

I would suggest to make the user colors default tab in the line color property. The 2D color chooser is much more convenient than the huge lists (web, system)

Could the dataseries properties be directly exposed in the main screen?

And what about y2 axis? [IsY2Data = true] for these curves.

P.S.

Working on it.

As for the formatting form I use standart propertyGrid control. It works fully automaticaly and really hard for me change it behavior for now. May be in future.
These examples I can open too.

I tried it in Xubuntu. It seema to work pretty well, in spite of Mono problems reported earlier.
I managed to save the file this time (Xubuntu upgraded to 13.04).

I had no problems to read files from the previous version. However, in one case, the commas (decimal delimiters) from the axes limit values had gone. Once corrected, they persist upon save and open.

I confirm that the problem of co-existing plots (internal and plugin) is fixed.

Remaining issues so far:
- Tick value formatting
- Tick origin (might be a feature, which I would request to change)
- Unhandled NaN values (in the internal plot region, a convenient way to limit a curve in x-direction is to divide by corresponding boolean expressions)

Would you recommend to start serious work (like Handbook examples...) based on the current file format? That would imply the hope that future versions shall be downward compatible w.r.t. file format.

Updated.

Something like this? As for serious use, it's still early.

To use this feature: Properties Source->SourceType = Sheet, Index = n, n - index in limit vector (XLimMin, XLimMax, ...).

XYPlotRegion_20130501r3

You should see a few more options. If they are not there it is strange.

It seems that depends on the uni's ftp server. If the server is down, you can not download the plugin. Just try some later

It will be great if this can be used for bode plot?
