Bug Fixes & Enhancements

Version 2.4.0

• Added new configurable bar info box animation styles which include:
  • Zoom In
  • Fade In
  • Start/End Positions
  • Display Position
• Added animation to the graph engine's help screen.
• Fixed the bug that was causing the graph engine to close/exit if the user double clicked in the top left and right hand corners of the screen.
• Fixed the bug that was causing the graph engine's help screen to be incorrectly sized for resolutions other than 1024x768 pixels.

Version 2.3.0

• Added bar graph animation options - scaling, rotating, startup options, etc.
• Fixed bug on dual monitor PCs where the program would crash with an error message stating "No hardware support found. Switching to reference rasterizer", "No suitable device was found to initialize D3D. Application will now exit." The autodetection of resolution options can list the resolution options twice on dual monitor PCs - a set for each monitor. By default the program was selecting the second time 1024x768 32-bit was listed which is actually for the second monitor. The bug fix was for the autodetection to simply select the first occurrence of the resolution option.
• Fixed bug where pressing Alt+Tab to switch between applications would crash the graph. The graph now resets when it regains focus.
