This is all documented here in the manual. Happy plotting!

Additionally, you can now control the range of the y-axis when plotting waveforms, fx to ensure that multiple channels share the same range for easier comparison. (Thanks to @susfuchs.bsky.social for suggesting this!)

... and the signal processing can be controlled relatively freely, including the option to choose window shape and size, and to estimate spectra using either FFT or the multitaper method

.... and generally, the appearance of the plots can be controlled pretty freely, including options for highlighting parts of the plot ...

The axes of these plots can be flexibly controlled...

💥praatpicture 1.6.2 now on CRAN 💥
The main new feature is that there's now a function to draw spectral slices

Plotting your spectral slices in R will soon be a lot easier!

I wrote some software that visualises real-time nasalance for our @phoneticslab.bsky.social public engagement event this week!

We use two microphones to capture oral and nasal signals, separated by a baffle, and map each signal's amplitude to a visual representation of the face!

I did this on a train trip today, great for my focus!
(Also, what's your weather like? Munich has been pretty dreary)

Another minor change is that you can now control how many digits to print along the y-axis of waveforms (or suppress it entirely), and the center no longer says 0.000 but just 0 which is a lot nicer!

In sunny news, praatpicture version 1.5.0 is now on CRAN 🌞🧨 and you can now finally overlay pitch and intensity on the waveform (thanks to @jannelorenzen.bsky.social for suggesting this)

I know this isn't what I should be focusing on here, but can someone please write a description of his capitalization rules? It's total chaos!

I was a bit shocked by the latency when I uploaded data last week, but was hoping it was just a bad time. Very disappointing to hear that it's a more general issue. :-/

Thanks! For context, there's no distinction between assistant and associate professor in Oxford, so it's not exactly like I've "skipped" an assistant professorship 😄

Rasmus Puggaard-Rode @rpuggaardrode.bsky.social · May 26

Many thanks! And absolutely, that'd be great, I expect to be in London pretty often!
