Graphite v1.1.0 Release Notes

What's Changed

This release brings significant enhancements to the Graphite plotting engine with improved rendering capabilities, interactive controls, and major refactoring for better performance and maintainability.

🎨 New Features

• Line Rendering Support - Added full support for drawing lines with the new Line class, enabling line plots alongside point plots
• Interactive Camera Controls - Added pan (WASD keys) and zoom (+/- keys or mouse scroll) controls for intuitive plot navigation
• Dynamic Window Scaling - Plots now automatically scale with window size changes

⚡ Performance Improvements

• Draw Optimization - Implemented mesh caching system for points and lines, regenerating only when data changes
• Unified Rendering Pipeline - Refactored shader system for efficient rendering of both points and lines
• Update Tracking - Added state tracking to prevent unnecessary re-renders

🔧 Refactoring & Code Quality

• Plot2D Enhancement - Refactored Plot2D class with improved resource management using stack allocation instead of raw pointers
• Point Class Improvements - Enhanced Point class with size support, update tracking, and better mutability
• Organized Math Classes - Moved math classes to Resources/Math/Functions/ directory for better organization
• Simplified Examples - Updated all example scripts to use the new Plot2D interface and APIs

📦 Technical Details

New Classes

• Graphite:: Math::Line - Full line primitive with position, size, color, and update tracking

Enhanced Classes

• Graphite::Math::Point - Now includes size, update tracking, and mesh generation
• Plot2D - Supports both points and lines with unified rendering pipeline

Rendering Improvements
