Areas of Multigraph That Still Need to be Implemented

• html embedding support
• implement min/max for individual renderer drivers
• automatically generating API documentation from source code(student)

---

general

• error reporting/recovery
• proper insertion of default values
  • general function to insert static defaults
  • handler code to process rule based defaults
  • proper implementation of passing functions to defaultsTo (see core/plotarea.js)
• find location for enums
  • allowed(YES & NO)
    • needed for pan & zoom
  • frame(PLOT & PADDING)
    • needed for legend & img
• abstract text model
• clean up code to use consistent spacings, quotes, etc
• figure out how to deal with fonts
  • font type, family, size
  • consistency across all types of text

jermaine

• event emitter?
• proper implementation of passing functions to defaultsTo (see core/plotarea.js)
• create static methods in jermaine
  • attach functions to models themselves

src

• core
  • array_data:
    • fully implement error reporting
    • textToDataValuesArray should be moved to Data model2
  • axis:
    • remove commented out redundant code
    • fully implement pan/zoom
  • axis_title:
    • properly implement this
      • implement proper type checking for its types
      • add render method
  • binding:
    • properly implement this
      • implement proper type checking for its types
  • datatips & datatips_variable:
    • properly implement this
      • implement proper type checking for its types
      • add whatever methods are needed to provide proper functionality
  • filter & filter_option:
    • properly implement this
      • implement proper type checking for its types
      • add whatever methods are needed to provide proper functionality
  • graph_title:
    • properly implement this
      • implement proper type checking for its types
      • add whatever methods are needed to provide proper functionality
  • grid:
    • properly implement this
      • implement proper type checking for its types
      • add render method implementation
  • plot:
    • renderer.setUpMissing call needs to be improved
      • possibly use parent pointers
  • renderers:
    • implement more renderers
      • barerror
      • lineerror
      • point?
      • band
      • rangebar
  • service_data:
    • implement RESTful data service
• events
  • jquery:
    • implement touch events
• math
  • RGBColor:
    • add more color names to parser
• utility_functions
  • parsing-functions:
    • re-write most of these functions
      • insert Defaults
      • getDefaultValuesFromXSD should actually parse the XSD
  • validation-functions:
    • rewrite/remove most of these functions
• parser
  • jquery
    • better handle attributes not being set in the mugl
    • implement appropriate rule based default values
      • or implement second parser, which takes the parsed mugl and inserts defaults where properties are missing, based on rules
      • Error reporting will be difficult to properly implement
      • possibly use a pre-processing parser which does validates rule based errors. Then type errors will be handled by the core parser. The post-processing parser would insert rule based defaults. Put this on the backburner so we can get a working build sooner.

Implement more rigorous graphics tests

• Set up suite of graphics tests which fully test the various graphical and mugl features of multigraph
  • dashboard graphs(15 of them)
  • need to also test features not in dashboard graphs
    • legend
    • RESTful data service
    • titles

Figure out the top level API

• process by which end user will call and implement multigraph
  • simple call for user to embed multigraph in HTML page
  • call for users to dynamically insert graphs in larger applications
• unify call for createGraph
  • have default to try and figure out what driver set to use
  • can override with a well-defined, standardized parameter

Packaging

• have driver specific packages to save on filesize
  • WebGL version or canvas version, etc
• possibly not include serialization code

Documentation

• User guide needs to be updated
• Multigraph.org site needs to be updated to be brought back upto date
  • scrapped and re-factored in Drupal 7

Demonstration

• Set up one or several web pages which are using this new version of multigraph
• Go through process of setting up graphs like end users will
• Litmus test applications
  • Marks Home weather station
  • FCAV time series graph
  • other?

Jasmine code coverage

• write more tests
• look into code coverage analysis tools for JS

Priorities

---

NCDC Wishlist

• Implement 'loading' wheel for async requests
  • Only allow one loading wheel at a time
• impose some limit on async requests
  • one option is for hard limit of 5 async requests
    • turn off pan and zoom beyond this region until the async requests return
  • have a fixed minimum range for async requests
• 'Annotation' renderer
  • allows for highlighting regions of graphs
    • indicate regions where data is missing
    • indicate regions where data is loading
  • have optional text in the region
  • supports extra service-side special values which indicate different conditions
• buttons for zooming and panning
  • change mouse icon to a 'hand'
  • google maps type buttons for zooming
  • image gallery-esque buttons for panning
• scroll wheel support for zooming
