What is new in version 4.0.0:

  • After one year of development, over 2000 commits, about 300 bugs and feature requests fixed, two Release Candidates and lots of feedback, we present you Tulip 4.
  • This is the first release in the new Tulip 4.X series, which brings a gorgeous new UI, lots of speed improvements and a heavy lifting of the API and its documentations to simplify development of high-performance plug-ins.
  • Redesigned, more efficient UI:
  • Let's take a tour of the new UI together, see how it will simplify the analysis of data.
  • The Agent:
  • Tulip4 is designed to simplify multi-tasking as much as possible, and to this end we introduce the Tulip Agent.
  • The later generations of Tulip 3 introduced the concept of perspective, to allow task-centric application to be easily created. Tulip 4 pushes this concept to the next level, where a perspective is a full-fledged application that can be started through the Tulip Agent.
  • The Tulip agent is the hub where the plug-ins can be installed, removed or updated. You can easily browse through plug-ins type, and search to quickly find what you are looking for.
  • But it is also the place where you can get a glimpse at the latest Tulip news, and the images published on the Tulip website.
  • The New Tulip Perspective:
  • Tulip 3 was victim of its own evolution. As options and possibilities were added, the functionalitie s were crammed in tabs and menus, hiding most of the possibilities of Tulip to newcomers.
  • Tulip 4 starts with a clean slate, and brings an intuitive way of visualizing and manipulating graphs.
  • Here is what the new perspective looks like when you start it up (for those of you that recognized a touch of QtCreator, yes, we drew inspiration from their UI).
  • The changes under the hood:
  • Tulip 4 saw quite a lot of modifications under the hood to simplify its use.
  • First and foremost, a documentation was written for the API. It is not yet perfect nor complete, but will evolve in the future to be as complete and detailed as you, the user, want it to be.
  • The plug-in system was overhauled to make it easier to find existing plug-ins and remove some historical code.
  • We also changed the interfaces for View, Interactor and Perspective, as our vision for these elements changed.
  • We have refactored the rendering engine to allow you to write custom rendering code while still having the power of Tulip, with working selection, ability to use the scene, camera and layer system easily and such.
