Makie.jl v0.19 is a small minor release containing only two relevant changes. First, there’s a breaking change: All occurrences of textsize are now fontsize, so search and replace that word and you will be good to go. The reason is that both of these had been in use for a long time, so we had to pi…

I forgot to mention the other kind-of-breaking change that is also text related! So far, one would often see f = Figure(..., font = "Arial") to make a figure where Axis decorations and other text used the font Arial instead of the default TeX Gyre Heros Makie. But this hasn’t worked well anymore …

Since we don’t have announcement posts for patch versions we should probably mention the important changes that happened between 0.18 - 0.19 too. From my side there have been two GLMakie changes worth mentioning. The first is the removal of the stencil buffer in GLMakie, which has been limiting us …

Good point, those were really good improvements!

Great release and announcement. I still think that Makie.org should have a RSS feed. RSS feed opened 12:32AM - 08 Nov 22 UTC (UTC) [storopoli] storopoli …

[image] ffreyer: The second is the introduction of render_on_demand as the new default rendering mode in GLMakie. With it rendering only happens when there is actually a visual change, rather than 30 times a second. If you’ve been annoyed by GLMakie draining your battery and/or putting your fans…

Try it, but very likely yes :wink:

Yes, it works well without having to reduce the frame rate. That’s a huge improvement - thanks again!

It appears the Figure(font = texfont()) trick from MathTeXEngine no longer uses the correct tex font for the figure elements. Is this an intentional change?

As described in my second post above, use Figure(fonts = (; regular = texfont()). The Blocks all set font = :regular and font = :bold now and don’t inherit from the global font setting anymore.

These are all great improvements! I like especially the textsize → fontsize one. Thanks!

Great release and announcement.

I still think that Makie.org should have a RSS feed.
