LabPlot: post-v2.12 new features and development news

A list of all new features of the development branch added after the 2.12 release of LabPlot

Actions management

Now you can modify every toolbar with the actions you need

Axes ticks algorithm

Create more appropriate ticks which are not forced to stick to the minimum and maximum. So the tick label values look much cleaner and the interactive mode looks more intuitive

Implement Statistical Hypothesis Tests

Statistical Tests Introduced

  1. Mann-Whitney U Test
  • A non-parametric test used to assess whether two independent samples come from the same distribution.
  • Useful when data does not meet the assumptions required for the t-test.
  1. One-Way ANOVA
  • A parametric test comparing the means of three or more groups to determine if there is a statistically significant difference between them.
  • Widely used in experiments with multiple group comparisons.
  1. Kruskal-Wallis Test
  • A non-parametric test for comparing more than two groups to determine whether they come from the same distribution.
  • Serves as an alternative to the One-Way ANOVA for non-normally distributed data.
  1. Log-Rank Test
  • A statistical test used to compare the survival distributions of two groups.
  • Common in medical research and clinical trials for time-to-event analysis.
  1. Independent Student t-Test (New)
  • A parametric test comparing the means of two independent groups to determine if they are significantly different.
  1. One-Sample Student t-Test (New)
  • A parametric test used to compare the mean of a single sample to a known value or population mean.

These functions empower researchers and analysts with tools for parametric, non-parametric, and survival analysis, making the toolkit robust across a wide range of statistical scenarios.

Import multiple files in a directory in one step

Add possibility to import multiple files from one directory at once. As destination for the spreadsheets also folders and workbooks can be created.

Seasonal decomposition with STL and MSTL methods:

Allow to use color maps for plot colors:

Introduced a new option to define the y offset for curves to create “stacked line plot”.

Significantly faster save and load of text columns

The performance gain is 2-3x for many text columns but can be also significantly bigger if the text structure is simpler and the base64 encoding is faster.

More informative tooltip texts for columns also including the usage of the column in other places in the project.

Transposition of rows and columns in the spreadsheet.

Better explanations for axis ticks related options

Import integer values in windows and unix timestamp formats

Support the import of Unix timestamps (number of seconds since January 1, 1970 (UTC)) and Windows timestamps (number of 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601 (UTC)).

Angle(DMS) tick label format

Mann-Kendal hypothesis test.

Wald-Wolfowitz runs test.

Faster cutting of cells

Improved the performance of saving and loading of projects with datetime data
