My talk is over, and my slides on ' Picviz: finding a needle in a haystack' are available.

Ça fait longtemps que je m'écoute cet album de Fred Couderc, et je dois dire que je ne m'en lasse toujours pas. 

Il faut dire que c'est un album hommage à Roland Kirk, qui en plus d'être un grand maître de la respiration circulaire, était capable de jouer plusieurs instruments à la fois : deux, trois (!) saxophones, ainsi que de la flûte à bec dans le nez pendant qu'il souffle dans la flûte traversière.

Et en dehors du côté spectacle de tout ceci, il n'en restait pas moins capable d'avoir un son et des mélodies remarquables. La barre était donc fixée très haute. Et c'est avec brio que Fred et sa troupe ont sû relever le défi.

Ma préférée est "Phantoms", jouée avec un instrument unique au monde : un C melody droit, fabriqué par mon génial ami Hervé Martin (non ce n'est pas ce sax que vous voyez en photo).

Picviz 0.3 'good coffee' is released. This one mostly focuses on filters, but there is way more stuff in it: read the release notes!

Also, my good friend Pascal Terjan built a package for Mandriva.

Happy urpmi!

Picviz 0.3 is expected this week.

Lots of things improved, there are 162 commits between the last release and this beta!

Among the new things to test, there are :

• The 'penwidth' property. Which increases the line width to draw. You can now use it like this:

a="123",b="foobar" [penwidth="0.8"];
of course, you can combine this property with the color:
a="123",b="foobar" [color="#ff0033",penwidth="1.9"];

• A CSV plugin, which can output your graph as csv file:

toady at marcadet:~/local/scm/svn/picviz/trunk$ pcv -Tcsv samples/test1.pcv 
306,241,137
307,458,127

• Properties managed with hashes, not a user visible thing, but that makes adding a property a lot easier now

• PCV tool rewritten, using the same code, so same way tcpdump does with bpf filters, filters explained a bit later

• Linked list managed differently, again not a user visible thing, just some mess sorted out

• Filters, *THE filtering feature!* right now, you can only filter know data, such as:

pcv -Tsvg samples/test1.pcv 'show only value = "123" on axis 1'

which will only show values with '123' on the second (1) axis. What I want to add before the release is the filter on the mapped value by the rendering engine,

How to test ? please compile the program, play with it, report comments, bugs etc.. and release will show up very very soon.
