Tool Change Log
New Features
- Adds support for the new Web of Science format from ISI. This will allow the user to load both old and new ISI data downloaded from the ISI site.
- Adds support for network overlays on the Geographical map. This will allow Sci2 users to generate a geographical network through Sci2, Gephi and Adobe Photoshop. See tutorial here
- Adds support for Prefuse's visualizations on Mac's OS X. This will allow Mac's OS X users to be able to access all the visualization algorithms in Sci2, including Tree Map, Tree View, Radial Graph, etc.
Improvements
- Triples the speed and reduces memory usage by 70% for the Extract Top N Nodes and Extract Top N Edges algorithms. This will allow Sci2 to support rendering for bigger networks.
- Unified merging algorithms used by database
Bug fixes
- Fixed legend boundary issue for geographical maps
- Fixed a typo on the output data label
- Fixed slice by year bug for databases
