JustCGM 4.2.04 for UNIX is a maintenance release of JustCGM for UNIX 4.2.

CGM Interpretation

The WebCGM Alpha Transparency extension (Escape 45) is now supported while previewing, saving to bitmaps or PDF. Printing to most HP DesignJets using JustPlot drivers is also possible.

Support of Alpha Transparency improves the support for Petrel EMF files.

A Justcroft private CGM Escape -12000 has been introduced. This Escape is used by the Justcroft CGM Interpreters to enable interpolation of Petrel EMF images

Improved support for TrueType fonts and support for Arabic text

Licence System

The Concurrent (floating) licence system has been changed. There is now a popup reminder if you have one or more time limited (evaluation) modules that are about to expire within 30 days.

CGM Optimiser

The speed of the CGM Optimiser has been improved when optimising Petrel generated correlation logs. Improvements can be up to 200%.

There is a new filter to detect thick line emulation and replace these with a single thick line. This might make editing later on easier. However, detection is not 100% reliable and this option should be used with caution.

Output File Converter

TrueType text in PDF output can now be generated as text instead of being emulated.

Images can now be generated as tiled PDF pages as a workaround for limitations in the Acrobat Reader.

Other

Improvements to the licence system.

New package option SKIP_ESCAPE22() to disable old style transparent cell colour support as some applications do not generate this correctly.

New package option DRAW_TEXT_WITH_LINEWIDTH() to draw CAD Engineering (Hershey) fonts with a stroke thickness controlled by the line width element. Currently used for ProMAX.
