Hi All,
Just to give some news about Mondrian. Together with colleagues
from Bern, Lille and Santiago, I have been working on this
visualization engine for quite some times. Although it contains
some important bugs (e.g., popupView) it is fairly stable and
usable. The current version is 2.0-beta.7.
Mondrian is slowly maturing. A short summary of the discussion I
had with Doru and Stéphane today.
Some of the features I would like to see in for Version 3.0 are:
- scalable spring layout (also known as force based layout): this
is a very simple and nice layout that produces amazing results
- add layers: embedding a rendering or a part of it in a layer.
Layers could then be iteratively activated and desactivared. The
idea is to enable the construction of scripts in a very iterative
and incremental way.
this is a nice idea
Thanks :)
- having a small core embeddable in your application
- making Mondrian load graphiz scripts
- having a better help system (à la ProfStef)
- dedicated chapter for Pharo By Example Volume 2
- exporting as PDF
- anti-aliasing
This probably will not happen today or tomorrow, but I just feel
necessary to share this roadmap with you. Some other features are
wanted. Using Rome is one. Open GL is another. There are plenty of
rooms for a very cool visualization engine.
Probably during the holiday period I will consolidate the current
version by fixing remaining bugs and produce 2.0.
