- new button under the graphic window to temporarily disable mouse
  selection (speeds-up redrawing of very large models + permits to
  rotate/zoom-in a model in selection mode even when the whole screen
  is full of selectable entities--e.g. a surface mesh)

- new "lasso" selection mode (to select entities using the same kind
  of lasso as the lasso zoom: just Ctrl+click, then drag the mouse in
  selection mode; the shortcuts are the same as for the lasso zoom)

- it is now possible to unselect entities using the middle mouse button
  (only for the creation of physicals at the moment; not sure if it's
  useful in the other cases)

- new button in visibility browser to invert the current selection
  (very useful e.g. when multiple physical entities are associated
  with a given elementary entity, in order to "peel" away the model
  when adding new physicals; cf. philou)

- changed meaning of Escape shortcut (cancel lasso or toggle mouse
  selection) + restore standard fltk Escape handling for all dialog
  windows

- updated copyright string

- new mesh label mode (coordinates); all label types are now also
  available for mesh vertices

- added option in 'Print Option' dialog to disable printing of help
  strings

- added a comment string with the date when creating a new file

- new snapping grid for adding points in the GUI

new plugins: Gradient, Curl and Divergence

- removed all the crappy STL code and rewrote it using JF's POLY_rep
  class

- generalized POLY_rep so that we can use the polygonal discretization
  as a surface mesh, and mesh in 3D afterwards. I.e., we can now take
  an input triangulation (a single surface in STL format, multiple
  surfaces in STL format, one or more surfaces defined using the new
  "Discrete Surface" commands), and generate a 3D mesh that uses it. We
  could in theory even mix triangulated and "normal" surfaces in the
  same geometry, but nothing is done at the moment to ensure that the
  mesh at the interfaces would match (if it does, it actually works
  very nicely)

- new STL mesh output format to export a surface mesh as a STL file

- added an option to the GEO output routine to save the surface mesh
  as discrete surfaces associated with the geometrical surfaces

- added STL and Text output formats for post-processing views (the
  text output allows for example to exploit plugin-generated data in
  gnuplot)

- generalized Plugin(Evaluate):

  * can loop automatically over all the timestep and/or components

  * can do operations using data from an external view

     - if the 2 views are based on the same grid, the plugin does the
       evaluation very efficiently

     - if the 2 views are based on differenet grids, the plugin
       automatically interpolates the external view data onto the
       grid of the current view

- added new Rand() function in MathEval

- default colormap is now # 2 (the Matlab "Jet" colormap)

copyright update

add an elementFactory to simplify the tests + new "getNode" fcts

fix help string

- fixed CTX.post.list error in new plugins

- cleanup integrateLevelsetPositive in Integrate.cpp

- re-indent

- Added a bunch of colormaps from:

  Color Theory and Modeling for
  Computer Graphics, Visualization,
  and Multimedia Applications

- Increased max size of colormap to 1024

- Small cleanup in parser+plugin

This patch fixes an old design flaw in the post-processing module,
namely that we used a list of Post_View objects instead of a list of
pointers to Post_View objects in CTX.post.list.

This had many annoying consequences, in particular the fact that we
needed to be extra careful every time the list was reallocated (as
pointers to the list elements would become invalid).

I tried very hard to change the code everywhere it should be changed,
but I might have missed something. Please let me know if you see
anything suspicious (like a crash when you duplicate/remove/combine/...
post-processing views).

fixed FPE in computeLevelsetPositive when SUMABS=0 (still not sure what
this stuff is useful for, though :-))

- First draft (pretty much untested!) of new "Integrate" plugin to
  * integrate scalar fields over all the elements in a view
  * integrate the circulation of vector fields along line elements
  * integrate the flux of vector fields across surface elements

  Used with Plugin(DisplacementRaise) and Plugin(Evaluate) this
  permits for example to compute the area/volume of deformed
  configurations; and, with Plugin(CutPlane)+Plugin(Skin), the
  perimeter of deformed sections. Another interesting application is
  to use it on a vector field with Plugin(CutPlane), in order to
  compute fluxes across arbitrary cross-sections.

- Added "connectPoints" option to Plugin(CutParametric) so
  that we can feed its output to Plugin(Integrate)

- Added Normals and Tangents options to visualize the orientation of
  elements in post-processing views

- Added "swapOrientation" in Plugin(Transform) to change the
  orientation of the elements (in place) (+ moved the transformation
  routines from the view class into the plugin)

- fixed #defines in some of the plugin header files
