======================== Mantid Workbench Changes ======================== .. contents:: Table of Contents :local: New Features ------------ - The ability to scale axes and colorbars to ``symlog`` has been added to plots. An option to specify the extent of the linear portion of the ``symlog`` axis (``linthresh``) has been added to the axes tab widget in the plot config dialog. - Sequential fit output workspace names now include the numeric (spectra) axis to distinguish between different results. - The sequential fit interface now has an option to create the results output in a workspace 2D format. - The crosshair button is enabled in tiled plots (subplots). - The crosshair has been optimised using matplotlib's blitting function for fast rendering. It very closely tracks mouse movement with minimal lag. - MantidWorkbench now features a new, integrated HTML-based help viewer, replacing the previous Qt Assistant-based system. This modernization provides a more streamlined user experience and aligns with current web standards. - In the :ref:`Filter Events Interface `, horizontal and vertical range markers have been added in lieu of sliders to simplify range filtering with the mouse. Bugfixes -------- - Opening the help window will no longer cause a crash in Windows conda installs of ``mantidworkbench``. - ``Show Invisible Workspaces`` settings can now be updated from the settings menu. - Workspaces starting with "_" will now appear in plot legends. - Moving a range selector on a plot (especially in indirect/inelastic interfaces) will no longer cause a deprecation warning about ``np.bool`` scalars being interpreted as an index. - Standalone Windows installations of MantidWorkbench (using the .exe installer) now ignore the user ``site-packages`` directory (``%APPDATA%\Python\Python311\site-packages``), preventing conflicts with packages from other Python installations. - Input validation errors have been corrected for numerical text boxes of the :ref:`Filter Events Interface `. InstrumentViewer ---------------- New features ############ - An experimental version of the new Instrument View has been made available in this release. To access this, right-click on a workspace in the ADS in Workbench, then click ``(Experimental) Show Instrument``. This feature is still in an early stage of development with further functionality being added over the v6.15 development period. Bugfixes ############ - Added a warning to the ``Pick`` tab for a workspace with blocksize 1. In this case, the Instrument View will not provide a line plot until the workspace has been rebinned. SliceViewer ----------- New features ############ - Added a masking feature for Matrix Workspaces with a non-numeric y-axis. This enables direct application of the mask to the underlying workspace, or the outputting of a table workspace that can be applied subsequently using ``MaskFromTableWorkspace``. .. image:: ../../images/6_14_release/sliceviewer_masking.png :class: screenshot :width: 500px :ref:`Release 6.14.0 `
