Subject: Re: pmchart trackers
Hi Nathan,
I've been also hesitating a lot with the timeout, and thought it was the
least intrusive for users that want to use the feature sporadically.
I'll try to get it configurable. The good things with the time marker is
that if we add multiple graphs per row, we still maintain a visible time
position, and aligning the graphs with the time scale is less necessary.
I also still need to add a marker to the the time scale itself.
I'll try now to add the options to the save/load functions. Also
something is needed for the value markers, as they overlap most of the
time. I thought about adding a special window that would list all values
actually tracked in the same pmchart window.
Also what are your plans around pmview? Are you more thinking about a
rewrite and "abandon" pmchart sources or integrating pmview features? I
think that extending pmchart makes more sense: when I wrote the
pcpviewer with coin, i stopped at creating an object that manage
timelines and pcp record. You already did all this in pmchart, and I
think it would be """quite""" easy to create a new graph type using the
openinventor API. Drawing 3D will not be really different than 2D, and
users can easily mix 2D and 3D graphs.
...
Bye
Olivier
