Latest updates
sv_initpage – implements ShowPaper 2 as a request to have the graphic scale to fit the browser (or the embed window) with no borders.

pdf‘mark – must use a different ‘bullet’ to fake circles when running in ServerMode=1 as these go out untranslated from ŒAV here.

CH‘LAB3D – was over-straining the PDF engine with relative moves for flat labels. Fixed at source as the resulting PG is a bit neater anyway and it hides the deficiency in the output mechanism for a few more years. Just be careful with repeated text moves!

setmarker – markers were scaling too much when the nib-weight is increased. This should be a (low) power law effect for correct visuals – fixed. Affects VML, SVG and PDF output here.

pdf‘AHx – notices 2-colour bitmaps and uses greyscaled colourmap and 1-bit image to save space. Also avoids printing problems from Acrobat Reader on monochrome PostScript printers.

pd_javascript and pd_javaprologue added as dummies. Otherwise rendering scripts to make PDFs can crash if chJScript has been used.

Marker scaling adjusted so +Win output to SVG/PDF/VML exactly matches what we get from Dyalog here.

sv_initpage – ShowPaper=3 is now taken to be ‘fit to browser’ regardless of window shape, whereas 2 preserves aspect.
