Version 7.0.0-rc11

7.0.0-Release Candidate 11

This is the 7.0.0 Release Candidate 11. Below are listed the many bug fixes and updates that have gone into this release.

  • Release Date: April 22 2024
  • Expiration Date: June 22 2024

Known Issues

  • The “Light Mode” style is currently broken. Please use “Dark Mode”.
  • This update breaks a lot of pipelines (and python codes if you were an early adopter). Warnings are emitted in the user interface if you load a pipeline that does not define the proper filter parameter keys. A suggestion is listed for each warning that should be close to the correct change. The user should make a back up of their pipeline before hand editing the pipeline in a text editor.
  • Long visualization operations can lock up the GUI. Please be patient for those operations to end.

What’s New in DREAM3D-NX

Key updates

Visualization Treeview Breadcrumbs

Visualization Treeview Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs have been added to the Render Properties editing widget. This should help inform you which DataView is being edited.

Even More Color Presets

Even More Color Presets

We have added even more color presets including popular ones from “MatPlotLib”. There are now 117 color presets to chose from. The complete list is at https://www.dream3d.io/nx_reference_manual/html/SimplnxCore/GenerateColorTableFilter.html#generate-color-table

Updated Preferences Dialog

Updated Preferences Dialog

The preferences dialog has been overhauled to better organize the settings. Included in this dialod is the ability to enable/disable certain backup files, reset the window layout, and setup visualization preferences.

Improved Python Filter Development

Improved Python Filter Development

A significant update to the Anaconda build that lowers the barrier to extending DREAM3D-NX through python. This includes both use cases of utilizing DREAM3D-NX’s filters and creating filters that can be used directly from the user interface. Look for upcoming tutorials on this subject at https://www.dream3d.io/python_docs/. Currently implemented filters can be found at https://github.com/BlueQuartzSoftware/simplnx/tree/develop/wrapping/python/plugins
