### Changed

- The EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) hardcopies are not automatically rotated anymore. The reason is that we assume now that EPS are intended to be included in another document rather than being printed. The new option `/FITPAGE` for command `HARDCOPY` enables automatic rotation and scaling (i.e. the historical behavior). You can also set the global variable `GTV%FITPAGE` to `YES` for an identical result. The option `/PRINT` (formerly `/PLOT`) implicitely activates `/FITPAGE`. Finally, the standard (non-encapsulated) PostScripts have not been changed. The table summarizes the former and new rotation rules.

- The default Look-Up Table (LUT) is now a continuous variation of colors, from black to white. It is similar to the LUT which can be loaded from the file `rainbow3.lut`, probably the most popular LUT in GTV. It can be reloaded at any time with the command `LUT DEFAULT`. The previous default LUT was also a continuous variation of colors (circular hue value), but from red to red, resulting in confusing low and high levels. It still can be loaded with the command `LUT COLOR`.

- The so-called ``LUT static'' mode has been fixed and works correctly now. ``LUT static'' mode can be used to define one LUT per GreG image. It also applies to pens 8 to 23 used by e.g. `RGMAP /GREY`. See `HELP GTVLCHANGE LUT` for details.

- Now the pen is a global atribute, e.g.:

        GREG\PEN 0  ! Black
        CREATE DIRECTORY SUB
        CHANGE DIRECTORY SUB
        GREG\PEN 1  ! Red
        CHANGE DIRECTORY ..

  With the above sequence of commands, the next segments created in the first directory would have been black, since there was a memory of the last pen in use when leaving the directory. Now, the pen used everywhere is the last pen defined anywhere.

Table: How the PostScripts and Encapsulated PostScripts are rotated or not depending on the GTV version and the plotting page. Condition1: Yes if the X range of the drawings is larger than its Y range (bounding box), else No. This table reflects how the printers or the Latex inclusions behave. It does not reflect how some viewers can display the PostScript, in particular ghostview.
