SmileLab Full Edition Publisher's Description:
SmileLab is an integrated working and production environment for viewing and analyzing numerical data of any sizes, and produce professional graphical documents.
* SmileLab offers a wide range of data representation models: curves, contour maps, vector fields, 3D surface. High-level graphical commands address all kinds of non-standard graphical 2D and 3D representation needs.
* Various levels of access and use are available: you can make plots using the set of fast and easy tools provided, and you can as well handle a whole project of data visualization, including for instance automated data import, customized visualization, user interaction dialog windows, and production more...of several graphical documents. You program directly data visualization objects (for example a curve, a contour map, a 3d surface).
* SmileLab produces results under a variety of forms: PDF files, pictures, movies, result data files.
* SmileLab works based on a language dedicated to task automation, AppleScript. AppleScript is Apple's automation language, it addresses all the software components in your computer, and can perform a variety of tasks: file handling, Internet access, cgi handling, communication with applications, control of UNIX executables, communication with other processes, etc.
* In SmileLab you fully customize the interaction with users. Most objects belong to the user interaction layer, and with scripts you install any custom user interaction: the default behavior can be improved or overridden by attaching a custom script.
* SmileLab is particularly helpful when controlling an external computational code: AppleScript is a high-level language like Python that can be used to develop solutions rapidly. But what is unique with SmileLab / AppleScript is: you interact with your program while it is running.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 3.2.1:
* Smile's plot interface was completely revamped - You can now extract data from files or generate data, make computations, visualize your data and change display settings, all from the same user-friendly interface. Those plot settings can be saved to disk and reopened, so that you can quickly adapt a given plot to another set of data. Watch a video showing the main features at Smile's gallery.
* This new version of Smile introduces XNF version 2.0. XNF is a file data format for storing binary 1D, 2D, and 3D arrays, using an XML tree as its table more...of contents. More info about XNF at http://www.satimage.fr/software/en/smile/computing/xnf/index.html .
* 50+ other improvements. You can view the release notes for Smile 3.2.1 at http://www.satimage-software.com/en/releasesmilex.html .
