## Suggestions for future release

 Here are a few suggestions for future updates: 1.  Is it necessary for the splash screen asking to decline or accept the license for licensed customers?  I'm wondering if it could be eliminated if you have paid. 2.  Add the ability in postprocessing to permit modifications to the axes, such as semilog, log, scale, label, etc.  I have found that if you change the pp value at all, it throws the plot off screen, and you cannot change the axes or display to retrieve it.  For example, if you run a problem using large numbers and want to plot semilog instead of linear, you cannot do this 3.  If possible, an option to control/limit the output to the command log, to decrease verbosity of the output if desired.  If repeating time step calculations, the log gets quite large. Thanks, Tom

## Re: Suggestions for future release

 Just to clarify my thoughts per your response: 1.  When I start the app (v1.12.1), a splash screen appears while its loading with nothing to check, after the app is loaded, the splash screen changes to the one requiring that you accept or decline the license.  In previous versions, only the license accept splash screen appeared. 2.  I'm aware I can export the model to Matlab and control axis display from there, and have done that, but it would be nice to be able to do something in your app as well, in 1D as you say.  The options only constrain the data displayed, and don't change the axes, which is what I'm seeking.  Not a high priority, but would be nice. Regarding the verbosity of the command log, it no longer slows down the calculation since you have fixed that, but additional control over what is output to the log would be nice.  Again, not high priority. Thanks, Tom

Thank you for elaboraing on your suggestions, regading the axis although not as convenient as built-in buttons, if you really want to change the GUI axis there is another workaround by extracting and directly manipulation the corresponding Matlab graphics handles, for example (assuming you have the FEATool GUI up with a plot)  h_ax = findall(0,'type','axes'); set( h_ax, 'XScale', 'log', 'YScale', 'log' ) % Set log-log scale. xmin = 0; xmax = 1; ymin = 0; ymax = 1; axis( h_ax, [xmin xmax ymin ymax] ) % Set axis limits.
