Changes in version 0.0.4.9000                      

minor functionality

  - x3p_extract_profile_segments include all parameters for
    x3p_extract_profile
  - x3p_read_folder allows an import of multiple x3p files (recursively)
    into a single data frame (in tibble format) with a list variable of
    x3p objects.
  - dim.x3p just for convenience.
  - parameter scale_to in x3p_extract_profile and
    x3p_extract_profile_segments to set resolution for returned lines
    explicitly

bug fixes

  - fix to x3p_rotate in an obscure situation
  - annotations don't get lost in conversions to data frames

                 Changes in version 0.0.4 (2024-01-30)                  

major functionality

  - tmd_to_x3p allows an import of a file in TMD format (natively
    supported by GelSight instruments) to x3p
  - x3p_bin_stripes color-shade the mask by row or column-based gradient
  - x3p_shade_mask color-shade the mask of an x3p by its surface profile
  - x3p_circle_select interactively select a circle on an x3p surface by
    selecting three points
  - update x3p_read and x3p_write to allow vendor specific information

minor functionality

  - x3p_extract_profile_segments interactive function for drawing lines
    in segments
  - added convenience parameter create_dir in x3p_write to create
    necessary directory structure
  - x3p_image remove previously deprecated parameters crosscut and
    ccParam
  - x3p_image change functionality of parameter size for convenience
    working with cartridge case scans (make window size proportional to
    surface), default behavior for bullet scans is unchanged.
  - updates to documentation

bug fixes

  - keep mask when averaging in x3p_average
  - preserve annotations when casting to a data frame

                 Changes in version 0.0.3 (2021-11-26)                  

features

  - x3p_snapshot lets you take a snapshot of the currently active rgl
    device. The extension of the file determines the format.
  - x3p_mask_quantile adds a region to the mask of an x3p object
    corresponding to the area between two specified quantiles
  - x3p_trim_na trim x3p to remove missing values along the edge of the
    surface matrix
  - x3p_extract subset an x3p file based on specified mask values
  - x3p_extract_profile extract data set containing profile between two
    interactively identified points on the surface of the scan
  - x3p_select interactively select a rectangle on an x3p surface
  - x3p_fuzzyselect repeatedly select a rectangle of interest, expand
    selection to include similar values based on robust linear model
  - stl_to_x3p convert STL files of topographic surfaces to x3p files

minor functionality

  - add functions in form of x3p_* to adhere to tidyverse conventions

bug fixes

                 Changes in version 0.0.2 (2019-03-27)                  

features

  - sample_x3p:
      - sample at different rates in x and y direction (using parameters
        m and mY)
      - sample at offset accessible through parameters offset and
        offsetY
  - functionality to work with meta data:
      - x3p_show_xml to identify and show elements of the meta file
        based on names
      - x3p_modify_xml to modify individual elements
  - functionality to overlay 3d surface data with color information:
      - adding/creating masks to overlay surfaces with color raster
        images
      - x3p_add_vline, x3p_add_vline, x3p_add_grid: add lines on top of
        rendered scan surface by manipulating the mask

minor functionality

  - testing routines added with coverage > 90%
  - print.x3p and head.x3p provide a succinct summary of scan meta
    information
  - enabled URL read of x3p files
  - include svg as an option for file save from image_x3p
  - read_x3p and write_x3p check xml meta file for specification of
    float size
