Crosshairs

I like the toggle crosshairs function, but I'd like it to remain on if selected, for other operations. For instance, the "Info > Distance From..." operation would seem to be much more accurate with the crosshair guides, but now the crosshairs are turned-off/ignored, and only the mouse pointer is activated.

Regards,
Jon

This one's all about which window has the focus (in this case it's the dialog box). I should be able to fix this, though.

Absolutely, and I appreciate your suggestions.

The Jon Canale update :) is now available to licensed users via Help>Check for Updates.

Changes:
  • When panning a zoomed plot, pressing the Ctrl key in combination with the arrow keys now pans the plot by 10% of the normal pan distance. (By default, the pan distance is one half of the plot extents. This fraction can be reset with a SetPanFraction macro command.)
  • If the crosshair cursor is used, that cursor is now used during a Distance Between Points command. In previous versions the cursor reverted to the default arrow when any dialog box was opened.
  • Point labels for invisible curves are not drawn.
  • The Colors dialog for XY plots now includes curve legends in the label rather than the generic Curve 1, Curve2, etc.
  • Improved the new N1.85 scaling option a bit. Previous version did not allow X values equal to 0. This was simply to avoid math errors and not a physical limitation of the scale.
  • Bug fix: DPlot crashed due to an integer overflow if you selected a tick mark interval smaller than either extent divided by about 2 billion (more precisely, 0x7FFFFFFF). This would commonly be a problem when working with calendar dates and a tick mark interval of 1 second or smaller.
  • Bug fix: The default extents on XY plots often cut off portions of the data, if the magnitude of the X or Y values was much larger than the default tick mark interval
  • Bug fix: Edit>Edit Data did not use a sufficient number of significant figures in some cases.
  • Bug fix: Edit>Copy Data Values did not use a sufficient number of significant figures for XY plots with date/time groups on the X axis.
Thanks much for all of your input.
