Ixdat

========================

API changes
-----------

techniques
^^^^^^^^^^

- ``ECMSCyclicVoltammogram.diff_with()`` raises a ``NotImplementedError`` rather than
an obscure error message.

- ``ECMSPlotter.plot_vs_potential`` can accept ``color`` as a keyword argument. This
colors both the U-J curve in the lower panel and all the signals in the top panel,
so best to use together with a ``mass_list`` or ``mol_list`` of length 1.

exporters
^^^^^^^^^

- ``export()`` functions now take a ``time_step`` argument. It must be used together with
a ``tspan``. It is effective in reducing the file size of exported .csv's. `PR 60 <https://github.com/ixdat/ixdat/pull/60>`_

- Renamed keyword argument: ``columns`` replaces ``v_list`` in exporters (``ECExporter`` in v0.2.0, ``ECMSExporter`` in 0.2.1)

The old name is deprecated.

plotters
^^^^^^^^

- Added interactive range selection functionality to all plotters,
`PR 61 <https://github.com/ixdat/ixdat/pull/61>`_. Left mouse click will set the
left marker, right mouse click the right marker, and double clicking with any of the
buttons will remove that marker. When both left and right markers are in place, the
selected span will be printed out.

constants
^^^^^^^^^
- Dynamic viscosities are temperature-dependent, `PR 55 <https://github.com/ixdat/ixdat/pull/55>`_
This enables accurate gas flux MS calibration (for the gases included) accross a range of temperatures.

Bug Fixes
---------

- ``ECMSExporter`` works as of 0.2.1 (it had been broken in 0.2.0).

This solves `Issue 56 <https://github.com/ixdat/ixdat/issues/56>`_

- Other exporters were also sometimes prone to having extra ``aliases`` leading to
circular lookups in the measurement when they were loaded. This has been fixed (as of 0.2.1)

- ``RE_vs_RHE=0`` counts as calibrated potential!

fix the following bugs:


- Reliable construction of `selector` and `cycle` counters. This is done via the
``selector_name`` and ``_series_constructors`` class attributes, which can be
customized for every ``Measurement`` subclass.

This solves `14 <https://github.com/ixdat/ixdat/issues/14>`_

- Carrying calibrations over through measurement combination (hyphenation or appending
with the `+` operator) or transformation (through copying and technique-changing
functions like `ECMeasurement.as_cv()`. This is done via replacing the use of a single
``Measurement.calibration`` with a ``calibration_list`` which can be appended,
treating the ``calibration_list`` as a measurement's linked objects, and a
``MemoryBackend`` which stores such linked objects while the main object is being
copied via its dictionary representation.

This solves `20 <https://github.com/ixdat/ixdat/issues/20>`_

This also solves `22 <https://github.com/ixdat/ixdat/issues/22>`_

This also solves `29 <https://github.com/ixdat/ixdat/issues/29>`_







Instructions
============

Use this as a staging ground for CHANGES.rst. In other words, describe the
changes and additions to ixdat's API associated with your contribution. The idea is
that what you write here informs other developers what is on its way and then will be
copied to CHANGES.rst when the next version of ixdat is distributed. Please include
links to relevant Issues, Discussions, and PR's on github with the following format
(replace XX):

`Issue XX <https://github.com/ixdat/ixdat/issues/XX>`_

`PR XX <https://github.com/ixdat/ixdat/pull/XX>`_
