CTAN Update: pgfplots

[CTAN Announcements]

Christian Feuersänger submitted an update to the

pgfplots

package.

Version: 1.12.1
License: gpl3

Summary description: Create normal/logarithmic plots in two and three dimensions.

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

1.12.1: minor bugfix release
- fixed bug: incompatibility of 1.12 with unicode-math
- fixed bug: lua backend failed to work with table input and dependency on \coordindex
- fixed bug: lua backend failed with 'forget plot'

1.12: scalability + performance
- scalability: reduced TeX memory consumption for huge inline tables
- scalability: lualatex allows bigger 3d graphics
- scalability: lualatex now reduces compilation time for huge 3d graphics
(requires \pgfplotsset{compat=newest} at the time of this writing)
surf shader=faceted: time reduced to 61% of pdflatex
(\addplot3[surf,samples=70] {exp(-x^2-y^2 +x*y)})

surf shader=interp: time reduced to 25% of pdflatex
(\addplot3[surf,shader=interp,samples=70] {exp(-x^2-y^2 +x*y)})

surf shader=interp, parametric: time reduced to 36% of pdflatex
(\addplot3[surf,shader=interp,z buffer=sort, samples=50,domain=-1:0 ,y domain=0:2*pi] ({sqrt(1-x^2) * cos(deg(y))}, {sqrt( 1-x^2 ) * sin(deg(y))}, x);)

surf shader=faceted, parametric: time reduced to 40% of pdflatex
(\addplot3[surf,z buffer=sort, samples=50,domain=-1:0,y domain=0:2*
pi] ({sqrt(1-x^2) * cos(deg(y))}, {sqrt( 1-x^2 ) * sin(deg(y))}, x);)

- scalability: lualated now reduces compilation time for boxplots.
10000 input points from table: time reduced to 23% of pdflatex
- fixed bug: 3d axes where all axes used log scale produced compile failure
- fixed bug: axis equal did not respect "disabledatascaling"
- fixed bug: mesh legend was confused by color input=explicit
- fixed bug: colorbar style did not reset zmin/zmax
