| 1 | ASAP Plotting Requirements |
|---|
| 2 | |
|---|
| 3 | * should be based on matplotlib (installed in |
|---|
| 4 | /nfs/DEBIANlocal - > /usr/local on linux) |
|---|
| 5 | |
|---|
| 6 | * should use the Tk frontend as others are not supported |
|---|
| 7 | on our systems (yet) |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | * be in interactive mode, with building of draw lists, so that it only |
|---|
| 10 | refreshes once, at the end. This needs some tweaking of the code. |
|---|
| 11 | (example attached - example_delayed_plot.py) |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | * should take (x,y, mask) and transparently handle the mask. Masked data should be either blank or dashed |
|---|
| 14 | |
|---|
| 15 | * should take units/labels for axis labelling, and title string |
|---|
| 16 | |
|---|
| 17 | * should (auto)plot legends when overplotting |
|---|
| 18 | |
|---|
| 19 | * should auto-increment colours when overplotting |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | * autoscaling when overplotting |
|---|
| 22 | |
|---|
| 23 | * should provide panel plotting e.g, cols=Polarisations, rows=integrations |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | * should have position tracking (example attached - example_position_tracking.py) |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | * should allow region selection with cursor for both zooming and masking |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | * should expose general matplotlib functions for access at lower-level |
|---|
| 30 | |
|---|
| 31 | * should have an OO style interface |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | Note: |
|---|
| 34 | * matplotlib has to interfaces - a functional "matlab" interface and classes. |
|---|
| 35 | * matplotlib currently only works using the "TkAgg" interface, this will be until a Debian stable update is released. |
|---|
| 36 | "matplotlib.use('TkAgg')" should be on top of the plotting class. |
|---|
| 37 | * zooming has to be hardcoded using Tk events and changed later when other widgetsets will be available. |
|---|
