Issue: #2: Graph API: Expand set of glpyhs, and fix naming, Topic: UI, Status: pending, Importance: Medium, Classification: Bug Issue URL: http://cellml.org/specifications/specissues/2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: ---------------------------------------- From Andre: Just a minor comment on the glyph definition in the CellML Graph Metadata specification. The specification currently defines four glyphs: cg:dots, cg:squares, cg:circles, and cg:diamonds. I'd like to suggest that the glyph itself should not be plural. So the four should be: cg:dot, cg:square, cg:circle, and cg:diamond. This default set doesn't include one of the most commonly used (in my experience at least) glyphs, a simple cross (x). So I would like to suggest the addition of cg:cross to the list of glyphs defined by the metadata specification. And given I'm not a big fan of square or diamond glyphs, I'd also like to add cg:plus (+) and cg:triangle, and maybe a cg:asterisk (*) to ensure a suitable range of glyphs are available. I guess a line has to be drawn somewhere as to what to include, but we want to ensure a sufficiently rich set of glyphs...guess it depends on people's interpretation of rich :) #2 2006-11-14 11:54 (miller) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change: title: "Graph API: Expand set of glpyhs, and fix naming" -> "Graph metadata: Expand set of glpyhs, and fix naming" #1 2006-11-14 11:28 (miller) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change: topic: "" -> "UI" Change: title: "" -> "Graph API: Expand set of glpyhs, and fix naming" Change: description: "" -> "From Andre: Just a minor comment on the glyph definition in the CellML Graph Metadata specification.
