What's new in Autoplot

AutoPlot 1.0.8 brings a redesigned particle-animation workflow and adds Matplotlib figure export for further editing in Python.

• Import particle animations from a sequence of CSV/TXT, Extended XYZ, or LAMMPS dump files (one per timestep), or from previously loaded data, into persisted animation packages that reopen with all sources and settings intact.
• Export any figure — X&Y, Heat Map, 3D, Correlations, Charts, or Animated — as an editable Matplotlib Python script with its data, so you can keep refining plots outside AutoPlot.
• Animated Particles setup is clearer, with File Sequence as the default source, helpful guidance, and a more consistent layout alongside Line and Field animation cards.
• 3D plots fix overlapping axis labels, support safer trajectory editing, and allow up to 500,000 scatter or trajectory points.
• Bug fixes and performance improvements, including a refined paywall billing selector.

AutoPlot 1.0.7 adds time-aware 2D field visualization for exploring measurements that change over time.

• Create Animated Field heat maps from variables or loaded Long and Wide data, with validated rectangular grids and editable frame times.
• Play, pause, scrub, and loop through frames while comparing global, per-frame, or manual color ranges with contours and time annotations.
• Export current frames to PNG, JPEG, or PDF and complete animations to GIF or MP4, then add detached snapshots to Compose.
• Use the Assistant to create Animated Field cards from existing variables or imported files, with the same source validation as manual creation.
• Save and reopen animated workspaces while keeping animation sources, formatting, and playback settings intact.

AutoPlot 1.0.6 adds an interactive getting-started tour, file-backed animation creation, and 30 days of included Plus plotting access for new accounts.

• Follow nine guided steps across import, all five Analyze modes, export, Compose, and the Assistant.
• Create Animated Line and 2D/3D Animated Particles directly from loaded file columns with the Assistant, including a file produced in the same request.
• Try a disposable power-law demo. Run Demo prepares a structured Assistant request while preserving confirmation before execution.
• Use Plus plotting features for 30 days without a payment method or automatic charge. The title bar shows the remaining time, while hosted AI stays on the Free allowance.
• When included access ends, AutoPlot continues on Free without deleting work and preserves established read-only and recovery access to premium artifacts.

AutoPlot 1.0.5 expands publication-ready distribution analysis and makes animated data workflows more flexible and consistent.

• Create horizontal or vertical Ridgeline plots with adjustable overlap, density normalization, count scaling, fills, colors, markers, rugs, and reference lines.
• Format selected Distribution Charts with independent text, axis, color, and panel controls, including TeX labels and exact custom value ranges.
• Use the Assistant to create and configure the new Ridgeline settings while preserving existing Violin workflows.
• Build Animated Line plots from long-format time, X, and value columns as well as the existing wide-format workflow, with captured live axis bounds preserved in GIF and MP4 exports.
• See consistent particle colors across projections, stems, and fading trails, plus cleaner planar animations without artificial Z-axis marks.

AutoPlot 1.0.4 introduces animated plots and richer distribution analysis for time-varying and grouped data.

• Animate X&Y line data over time with playback, frame selection, trails, and MP4 or GIF export.
• Explore moving particles in 3D with trails, frame selection, and data-driven color and size.
• Compare distributions with violin, box, median, point, grouped, and split views in Charts.
• Use the Assistant to create and configure the new animation and distribution workflows.
• Enjoy steadier Charts interactions plus export, persistence, and rendering refinements.
