Windows Plotting Smoke Tests :chart_with_upwards_trend: :bar_chart:

[MialLewis]

We must test both the .exe installer package and install direct from conda.

• To install via conda:
  • Use Intel Conda and make sure conda-forge is added to channels

mamba create -n mantid_rc1 -c mantid/label/v6.8.0rc1 mantidworkbench --yes
mamba activate mantid_rc1
workbench # to launch

Before testing:

• Check this testing issue relates to the OS you will test on.
• If unassigned, please assign yourself as for a normal Github issue.
• Please run these tests on the release package of Mantid; not a locally built version.

Afterwards:

• Comment below with any issues you came across.
• If no major issues were found, please close this testing issue.
• Check the main issue for this OS for other unassigned smoke tests.

If you have any questions please contact the creator of this issue.

• 1D plotting:instructions

• Simple plot
• Another way to plot
• Adding curves to existing plots
• Also, test out waterfall and tiled
• Check Toolbar buttons

• 2D plotting: instructions

• Plot all spectra
• Change colour map
• Contour plot (under 3D menu)
• Check Toolbar buttons

• 3D plotting:

• Load some data eg LOQ74041 from the ISIS sample data
• 3D surface
• 3D wire frame
• Check Toolbar buttons

Sliceviewer

• Overly long instructions (don't spend long!) and data here. In particular try editing the data in a workspace while it is open in Sliceviewer!

Crosshair breaks normalisation,

• load some data and plot a spectrum
• right-click to change the normalisation (should work fine)
• turn on the crosshair,
  • right-click and change normalisation, get an error from figureinteraction.py
• turn off the crosshair and the error persists. (happens even if you just turn it on and off before changing the normalisation).
