PlanX CartoLab 1.3.0 — QGIS Python Plugins Repository

Changelog

## [1.3.0] - 2026-06-17

### Added
- **Dot-Density Map** — seeded, hole-aware dots scattered inside
polygons (one dot per N units of a count field); dots inherit source
attributes for multi-group dot maps.
- **Proportional Symbols** — Flannery-compensated (or true-area)
graduated point symbols with data-defined size and suggested
nested-legend values.
- **Hexbin Aggregation** — bin a point layer into a pointy-top
hexagonal grid (count / sum / mean), emitting only occupied cells,
graduated on the chosen statistic.
- **Visual-Center Label Points** — pole of inaccessibility (polylabel)
per polygon, so label anchors always sit inside the shape; largest
part used for multipart features.
- **Graticule / Reference Grid** — meridians and parallels on nice
round intervals, each carrying its orientation, coordinate and a
formatted label.
- **Choropleth Normalization & Rates** — rate (numerator/denominator ×
scale), z-score, robust MAD z-score, min-max, percentile rank and log,
written to a `norm_value` field and graduated.

### Fixed
- **Ridge Map** — replaced an invalid `QgsRasterBlock.isNoData()` call
(crashed on current QGIS) with a validity/empty check, and fixed the
optional-extent path that produced a NaN when no extent was supplied.

### Notes
- Pure-Python cores for all six new tools (no new dependencies);
headless unit tests grew to 192 checks and a real-QGIS end-to-end
harness validates all 12 algorithms on QGIS 3.44 LTR and QGIS 4.
