[Kst] Collected requests

[Gunter Koenigsmann]

Dear all,

First I have a question:
Is it possible to insert one or more cursors into the kst worksheet?
If not this would be a quite handy feature that could be used in two
ways:
- First of all I imagine a cursor as a vertical bar. If it crosses a
curve the x and the y position of this place is printed on the screen.
Traditionally most programs print the y position of one curve that can
be selected in a drop-down box. Also a second cursor is handy in order
to measure the difference between 2 x values [in electrotechnics
typically in MHz or in ns].
- Secondly if the position of the 1st cursor could be used as a
variable in an equation this wouldn't be too bad, neither.

...and I have been asked by at least 4 other users I have pointed to
kst or that are currently using kst to ask if a new release is planned
so I wanted to forward you this request as a sign that there are people
out there that really appreciate your work.

Kind regards,

Gunter.

Sort of, but it is not at all discoverable.

You will notice coordinates on the status bar. Normally these are the coordinates of the
mouse cursor. If you select "Highlight Data Points" on the toolbar, then a marker will
appear on the curve 'near' the mouse and the status bar coordinates will be of that point
instead.

Now, if you hit 'c', a small cross will appear whereever the active point was, and when you
now move the mouse, the offset in xy will appear on the status bar as well as the
coordinates. 'C' clears this mode.

oooh... interesting. Might be both useful /and/ easy.

Yeah... we really should. The Ubuntu ppa and the Windows packages (travis build) are
kept up to date, so you can use those in the mean time (which is why I haven't pushed as
hard as I could to keep up to date with actual releases.)

Dear Barth,

Sorry that I needed this much time to respond. But I wanted to contact
all users first I have collected reports from.

None of us has noticed this feature. But it actually works fine =>
Loads of thanks!

Cool! Didn't think that it was even possible. ...but helpful it would
be.

Unfortunately the 64-bit-windows build lacks all the interesting
plug-ins... ...but on Ubuntu I always use the version from git which is
astonishingly stable. And - as one of my friends uses to say: KST is the
fastest.

Kind regards,

Gunter.
