Hi, Following this thread from Thomas: http://www.mail-archive.com/rkward-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00872.html
I would like to get some feedbacks, especially bugs. Here is a screenshot of the new screen device window: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/rkward/index.php?title=Screenshots#Graphics_history_actions_.28from_trunk.29 And here is a screencast (download the ogv file from here; could not upload it to any of the video sites): http://www.mediafire.com/?z3gp737xa5h1t (Meik: see [1] below) Quoting Thomas: "Basically, please create a few plots in one or more windows, try the toolbar buttons, and comment on any aspect that is not intuitive, or buggy." Some notes: 1. Settings > Configure RKWard > Output has settings for the history length and size 2. The arrow icons are self explanatory. Note that: if there is any "new" plot on the current device then it will be appended to the history before moving away. 3. The "Add to history" (+) button will be confusing. For modified (using points () or lines () or ...) standard graphics plot, it will overwrite the existing plot; for everything else it will append to the history. I plan to fix this. Suggestions are welcome. Thomas had mentioned the following: http://www.mail-archive.com/rkward-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00853.html 4. "Remove from history" is self explanatory 5. "Clear history" will clear the entire plot history, but you can still add the displayed plot back into the history using "+" icon 6. The "Show info" action currently uses kdialog (recently changed it from readline ()), but as soon as Thomas returns (and finds time to implement a dialog box connection on the C++ side) I plan to change it to a more native version. (Although, wherever rkward can run kdialog is available, even on windows. One just has to figure out the right path to it!) 7. Since his (Thomas's) mail, I have updated the svn code to include lattice plots in the plot history as well. (I use lattice very frequently.) Recording and replaying these plots is different from those of the standard graphics plots. The difference is exploitable in a useful way - the plot call can be extracted / displayed. So, if you use lattice, give it a try, esp. the "Show Info" action. What next? a. Fix the "Add to history" action in a more intuitive way b. If possible, replace the info button by a persistent status bar c. A drop down menu for the history? I plan to have the a. done before the release. The other two can be delayed to a later version. -- Prasenjit [1] The vimeo mail earlier was part of trying to open an a/c for uploading this screen cast. Unfortunately, although I opened it correctly today, they won't accept the resolution! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
