Project

Summary  
Resp:
  1. Coste
Due Date: 18/04/2014
Objective: Project in OpenAleaLab
Issue: None

Tasks:

What’s Next:

  • refactoring

    • define the role of a project

    • abstract project vs concrete ones
      • Project: Python project. Might be used in any scientific software.
      • LabProject(Project),
      • Independant Widget from the Application

    • Lazy load: load in memory only what is edited.

  • features
    • vcs integration (svn, git) (P1)
    • different storage/representation strategies: directory, hdf5, bup, gzip, wheels, eggs, ftp
    • Import using import hooks (PEP-0302)

Application GUI

Summary  
Resp:
  1. Coste, G. Baty
Due Date: 28-30/04/2014
Objective: Graphical structure + concepts
Issue: None

Tasks:

  1. Grouping the widgets in a rational way
  2. Interaction between components (Drag/Drop)
Progress:
  1. First try: define named area (inputs, outputs) than can be used to gather widgets. See mainwindow2.MainWindow

Application archi

Summary  
Resp:
  1. Baty
Due Date: 28-30/04/2014
Objective: Graphical structure + concepts
Issue: None

Tasks:

  • Naming concepts
  • one concept / one class
  • the application define its components
  • the components extend the application

Progress:

  • A new MainWindow class (mainwindow2.MainWindow) has been defined. This class do not have widget imports except for shell and menu. 1/3 of widget has been integrated. Some blocking issues were identified. See Extending OpenAleaLab.
  • New MainWindow uses entry_points to find plugins and add it
TODO
  • Fix blocking issues.
  • Finish applet migration

Service Oriented Architecture

Summary  
Resp:
  1. Pradal
Due Date: 15/05/2014
Objective: Loose coupling and delegation
Issue: None

Tasks:

  • Definition of concepts: component, interface, service, adapters

  • Service:
    • abstract class (interface)
    • dump/load object (project)
    • 3D display
    • Help

  • find Plugin

Viewer

Summary  
Resp:
  1. Baty
Due Date: 15/05/2014
Objective: 3D Viewer component
Issue: None

Tasks:

  • Defining the Viewer component
    • interface (API)
    • code
    • review
  • Integration in oalab
    • compatibility with existing viewer

  • Documentation

What’s Next:

  • Mixing py_vtk & PyQGLViewer in a same widget
  • Principles of the interaction with object of the world
  • Select an object
  • Manage layers
  • Manage transparency
  • Modal Interaction
  • Introspection / Info on objects
  • Edition mechanisms
  • Camera path interpolation
  • PlantGL Viewer backward compatibility
  • WebGL viewer
