    • Corrected bugs for presets not being saved properly.
    • Implemented two types of averaging for caluclated variables, centered and backwards averaging. Set this in the ConfigFile manager.

     
  • XYGraph Zone:
    • Create a zone in the graph by clicking Toolbar->Zone->Create zone and then clicking the four corners of your zone in the graph (alternatively, right click in the graph for the context menu).
    • After having created a zone filter points in and out of it through Toolbar->Zone->Phases or Toolbar->Zone->Points
    • If you are working with phase average points, create a zone and click Toolbar->Zone->Phases->Highlight in table. This will highlight the phases in the chart, data graphs and phase table.

     


  • XYGraph TrendLines:
    • Create multiple trend lines. Use the trend line table to manage them in the trend line panel.
    • Create a new trend lines by clicking the '+' button in the trend line panel.

    • You may change the appearance of the trend line and its fit order by selecting it in the trend line table and clicking the 'property' button in the trend line panel (or right-click a row of the table).
    • Once created, a trend line keeps in memory the points it was created with. This means that you may do the following:
      • Load data for Leg1 using filters in the phase table
      • Create a trend line
      • Unload data for Leg1 and replace it with data from Leg3 using filters in the phase table
      • Create another trend line
      • Load data of both Leg1 and Leg3 and select Labels=RaceLeg and ColourBy=Labels
