HemoSpat version 2.2.0 has been released with some new features & bug fixes. Thank you to those who have reported bugs, made suggestions, and tested fixes!
3D Viewer Preview
The technology powering the current 3D Viewer is going to be unsupported soon, so it needs to be replaced. A new viewer has been rewritten from scratch using a different technology. This viewer has been added as a preview to check that it works across different operating systems & graphics cards.
You may access it by selecting 3D Views (Preview) under the View menu.
It has all the features of the old one, and adds new ones such as:
- an orthographic camera view
- outlines on objects to make them stand out more
- an axis indicator for orientation
- translucency for cast off planes
- optional shadows
- optional background grid
- a more flexible save image dialog
- better handling of dark mode/dark themes
This new version of the viewer will replace the old one in the next feature release, and the old viewer will be removed in the version after that.
You can contact me using the contact form or the support form on the user site.
Internal Changes
I made a lot of changes internally to support this new viewer and to set things up for new features and future updates. I have many things lined up for future releases already, but please contact me with any suggestions for features that would make your job easier.
Other Changes & Fixes
There are a whole bunch of bugs fixed in this release as well. Please see the release notes for more details.

A demo is available on this site which will let you try out the features of HemoSpat.
Feedback
I can only focus on one thing at a time and I rely on feedback to help figure out what that should be.
It would be very helpful to know:
- What features (reports, viewers, exporters, etc.) do you use the most?
- What features do you never use?
- What features do you have to use that you don’t like using or don’t understand?
- What’s missing to help you do your job more effectively?
- What do you wish HemoSpat could do for you that it doesn’t?
- If you don’t use HemoSpat, why not? What’s missing?
Basically, any information on how you use (or don’t use!) HemoSpat and what you would like to see in the future would be helpful. I look forward to any and all feedback. Please feel free to get in touch by email, using the contact form, or using the support form on the user site (requires login).
