DESCRIPTION
SciDAVis is a user-friendly data analysis and visualization program primarily aimed at high-quality plotting of scientific data. It strives to combine an intuitive, easy-to-use graphical user interface with powerful features such as Python scriptability.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 0.2.2:
  • added Brazilian Portuguese translation by Fellype do Nascimento
  • fixed opening of legacy files with non-numeric data
  • fixed various crashes
  • fixed importing of numeric data as new rows or overwriting the current table
  • fixed various issues with invalid/empty cells
  • implemented a more sophisticated file-saving protocol, which is supposed to protect against data loss in the event of a system crash shortly after saving the file; see http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/317781/comments/54
  • performance improvements
  • Python function Table.importASCII() reimplemented, which was missing in SciDAVis 0.2.0 and 0.2.1.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.5 or later, Qt >= 4.4. (Install Qt from http://www.qtsoftware.com/downloads/mac-os-cpp and copy the contents for the scidavis zip file into your applications folder.)

THZS  How to install: unpack the ZIP file (Safari does this automatically, I think), copy/move scidavis.app (a so called application bundle) to your application folder. Done. If it does not run, you probably don't have the necessary libraries installed.

Next time you have a question, please ask in the SciDAVis forums (follow the "More Information" link) instead of writing a one star review.

ASDFASD  I would be quite happy to give you a 5 star review if I had discovered how to install your app!

In the description you just mention that GNU Scientific Library (GSL) it's needed. But no link is given!

I think it would be useful to have some installation instructions specific for Mac Os X in the downloaded zip file.

Has you may see I am quite newby on this "not-at-all-like-mac" applications (naalmac).

For me this application "dies on the beach" even before it's installation, that is way I gave it a 1 star.

YHL  Hi,

The GSL could be found at: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gsl/gsl-1.11.tar.gz. The latest one is 1.11. It is also the one I used to build SciDavis.

After downloading and extracting all files, all you need to do is

(1) open terminal

(2) change to the root directory of GSL files by typing "cd xxx/gsl-1.11". xxx just means the directory hosting GSL files. If it is correctly executed, you should be brought to the root directory of GSL files.

(3) type "./configure" to configuring GSL compiling environment

(4) If no error, type "sudo make" and a password prompt should appear. After entering your administration password, the compiling process will begin, and you will see lots of messages filling your terminal.

(5) If the compiling ends without error, type "sudo make install" and the installation will be carried.

(6) That is done after the command prompt appears again.

(7) If you got some troubles and would like to restart the process, just type "sudo make clean" to clean all temp files. If you want to uninstall GSL, just type "sudo make uninstall"

Hope this help.
