You could probably mitigate this by .... "I" could do ...? Oh no no no. ;) I wouldn't dream of interfering with your project. I'm just offering feedback. I've got plenty of my own work to do. I'm not sure I understand this comment since the code I included has this change. Wasn't it clear I meant i...

Perhaps you're not seeing what I'm seeing. I don't just mean that it's not snapping to the sample boundary. I mean it's way off. Here is the result of the described steps with un-patched Audacity 2.1.3 RC2 version. Note that the selection fits almost exactly in the available window area: fullwindow...

Unfortunately you've broken something and created a bug. "Zoom to Fit" (Ctrl+E) no longer works reliably. Example: With default preferences, generate 10 second sine wave. From the selection Toolbar, select from 0 to 437 samples. Zoom to fit. Depending on the window size, the selection probably does...

Do you have code for that? I changed where the zoom engages, fixed a bug with the stems not going to proper zero, and I changed zooming to lock in to a multiple of the project's sample rate. This gets rid of that aliasing. diff --git a/src/TrackArtist.cpp b/src/TrackArtist.cpp index 7d4385d..2c116a...

Just thinking, "Matlab" is a registered trademark, so we may not be able to call such an option "Matlab style samples". Any ideas what this style of graphic representation could be called? I believe these are often called Stem plots. https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Digital_Signal_Processing/Discrete_...

Yes I agree it could be an interesting non-default option, though I think it would need to be tweaked so as to avoid the aliasing. Perhaps bring in the vertical lines only when the dots are show? Hm, I think that's a good improvement. I do like the stem version at one zoom level up from there, thou...

It's not a bug. The software is working as designed. It may be awkward or an error, but not a bug.

Ah, that's a good point. Should I have posted this elsewhere?

Hi, I'm reporting a bug I've noticed on the OSX version of Audacity, but it likely applies to all versions. When you zoom in close enough to see individual samples, Audacity renders them with lines connecting them. However, DSP tells us specifically that you CAN'T do this. Audacity should instead pl...
