fv: New Features
The latest version of fv is version 2.6.1 released on February
11, 2000. Here is a list of features added since version 2.5 released
on April 30, 1999:
fv
- Fixed plotting bug in fv 2.6
- Ported to Mac OS
- The Open File browser now lists file sizes and dates
- The management of windows has been improved to reduce
'windows clutter'
- The appearance of various windows and the physical layout
of user buttons and menu items is more ergonomic
- New scripting capabilities
have been added via the X Public
Access (XPA) mechanism (developed by the SAO/HEAD R&D group)
to allow external processes to access and control the behavior
of fv, and especially, POW. These new capabilities are in
addition to the previously available Tcl scripting capabilities
inherent in fv and POW.

Preferences window available
from any Edit menu.

in POW are now user configurable

- Graph selection buttons have been eliminated and true graph titles
added
- Full font control over all labels has been added
