- Bob mod addHTML extension to allow editors to addhtml
- Install packages (Do as part of late spring release)
- Pack gz - What a state things are in. Here's the version that uses the pack200/gz stuff: http://autoplot.org:8080/hudson/job/autoplot-jar-volatile/... We are using the pack200 and gzip here, it's just the proguard stuff we dropped. I can see it's commented out here: http://autoplot.org:8080/hudson/job/autoplot-jar-volatile/ws/autoplot/VirboAutoplot/compile-application-two-jars.sh/*view*/ (Jeremy - merge into production release very soon)
- Jeremy contact Ed about Jan 15th email and bulleted list
- Don't worry about png - will use Jquery autoload on scroll tool to make page not bog down.
- Bob move videos to help (done)
- Issue for Ubuntu 9.04 - Bob do probe of OS and warn user near link
- Discuss repository - Jeremy review and email Bob - no response from Jon?
- Bookmarks - Bob modify
2. Nov. 23, 2009
- Need to start an outline for a book
- Need to write demo scripts for IDL and MATLAB that export data and a jnlp file that can be posted to web
3. October 23, 2009
4. October 2, 2009
- To do before new production version
- WebStart - Need to add pack.gz (hour of searching around required)
- Bookmarks - make sure every feature is highlighted
- Documentation - make sure interaction is documented (if first use, give option to show user interaction which points to a link)

- Q: Is there an option in das2 for setting the number of colors in the colorbar and the bin size? That is, can I make 0-1 white, 1-2 green, etc? A: Sounds like a custom renderer to me. Another thing we've talked about is adding to the set of color tables to include 16-color ones with discrete steps, and color bars that are more friendly to colorblind people.
- Q: NCML for multiple time axes. A: Yes, this needs to get done. Should be pretty easy to do, but we should decide if it's just going to be a capability, or if it should be a core feature of autoplot. For example, in PaPCO it's almost a core feature where all the modules can expect that a service to provide ephemeris for a set of spacecraft is available. For das2 my plan has been to make it spacecraft-aware in the same sense that it is units aware. So for example a time axis would know that it's a time axis for ACE, and it knows how to go find ephemeris, and one of the axis mouse modules displays the S/C position with respect to the Earth and Sun, etc.
- Q: Perhaps we should define a way of using NCML to specify a colorbar. A: That's a hairy place where you've got a data model trying to do display stuff. I already have mixed feelings about adding "RENDER_TYPE=stairsteps" to the output of autohistogram. Probably the best thing is to have a detailed spec of the display with a good identifier ("bobsColorMap") and allow the data model to gently request it ("with RENDER_TYPE=bobsColorMap"). Jon and I finally have a visit planned on October, and then we'll be able to start building up the dataset schemas. Then Autoplot can have sophistocated logic for mapping scheme type (rank2table>spectrogram>discretemap>bobsdescretemap) to render type (bobsColorMap). I think this is probably the cleaner way to do things...
- Discuss what is required before release - what parts listed at http://www.sarahandjeremy.net/jeremy/mediawiki-1.6.9/index.php/Autoplot_todo#Aaron.27s_Comments
- Applet - Keep proguard in build script, but don't use because needs debugging and we are already down to 400 KB with refactoring.
- To do before new production version
- WebStart - Need to add pack.gz
- Bookmarks - make sure every feature is highlighted
- Bookmarks - create bookmarks-testing.xml from wiki page
- Document rendering
- Documentation - make sure interaction is documented
- Fix slicing problem -- high rank datasets sliced by panel before display, affects DOM.
- Fix serialization issue -- use custom xml serializer instead of Java's?
- Fix/address back and forward compatible DOM issues
- Applet clean up right-click
- Applet reset zoom
- Minor:
- progress panel smarter about popup.
6. July 10, 2009
- Move js/order/autoplotform* to demo page for servlet. Need servlet, applet, and webstart to each have their own release and demo pages!
- http://autoplot.org/api What about canvas.aspect?
- Discuss fullscreen http://aurora.gmu.edu/svn/js/applet
- Discuss Ed working on event list creator
- Discuss Ed working on dir reader applet
- Create AutoplotAppletCompressed.html and htaccess.txt. The html file should tell the user that if they downloaded the release they will need to rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess.
- Put in webstart instructions for apache mime type config.
7. July 2, 2009
- Jeremy finish API page ASAP
- Bob will commit new html to applet directory
- Much discussion about the following. Bob wants a simple thing that allows a callback to be registered to Javascript when the user clicks on the canvas. The callback function will get a string with the time and X,Y,Z coordinates. There was discussion on how to best do this in the more formal way. No conclusion was reached.
I just had an idea, inspired by something I was about to do in MATLAB for a research problem that I am working on. While browsing a time series, select "Create Event List". When the user clicks on a location, a textbox is populated in another window
Start: 2009-01-01
the next click leads to this showing up below the text window
End: 2009-01-01
Note1:
The next click leads to the addition of another Start line. And so on.
User may hand-edit the text in the window. They may add as many NoteX lines as they want. They may also select among a few output formats:

- Should axis re-set on scan? I think it should. We would need a setting to not enable autoscale then.
- Discuss API page
- Test that applet and servlet are accepting all parameters the same way
9. May 6, 2009
- Action items for next week
- Create examples for existing version of applet on how to control properties after initial load.
- Find write-up from our filter API discussion when I was there. I can't find it.
- Action item for before next release: Test and integrate http://aurora.gmu.edu/svn/js/order/autoplotform.* into Autoplot code tree
- Action item for before next release: Create http://autoplot.org/api (has DOM plus example of how to modify one element in the DOM. For help on the meaning of DOM node, user is pointed to http://autoplot.org/help
- Data set plugin with URI or DOM inputs of data discussed as future feature.
- EMFISIS is using Autoplot to have first look at raw data coming off of the instrument. Create a list of "users" on the autoplot main page?
- Send Vandergriff email and ask to try Eclipse? Wait till next version is out.
- Discuss how we will handle release that require pack200 and ... I was thinking that it was weird that we were using Unix shell scripts to call java programs instead of using ant.
- Senior review draft was discussed. No action item.
- I think that we should maintain a separate Telecon wiki page for notes like these. Done.
