Re: [MlMt] Thread Arcs styling options
The bundle requires the latest test release. Put the bundle in `~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Bundles/`, select some messages, and then hit ⌃v to generate the donut visualization (opened in a browser). I tried this but the page shows up blank in firefox and chrome. Works in safari though. Neat though ;) /max I'll be happy to help anyone with an interest in exploring the potential of visualizing email statistics. (Minor warning: Working on this I noticed some bugs/inconsistencies with respect to how MailMate handles missing header values.) -- Benny [Visualizations.mmBundle.zip] [Screen Shot 2014-02-18 at 11.00.41.png] ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate /max http://about.me/maxandersen ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

For both generating fancy custom thread-arcs and the off-topic stuff, I think [D3.js](http://d3js.org/) would do the trick. It can consume JSON and CSV.

No, it's not an HTML view. It's simple GUI class with its own drawing
functions. There are some preference values for colors, the angle used
when an arc leaves a dot, the radius of a dot (not sure that one works),
and when MailMate should “flatten” lines (hard to explain), but
there isn't anything adding more information to the thread arcs. A
tooltip is created using a format string, but this is a bit hard to
customize (requires a new layout).
But I wouldn't mind replacing this view with something displaying HTML.
Ideally, MailMate would call an external script with the information
needed for each message and then the script would generate the HTML to
be displayed. Input could be something simple like this:
~~~
{
id = 1;
toolTip = "Foo, 2 hours ago";
},
{
id = 8;
refId = 1;
toolTip = "Bar, 1 hour ago";
},
{
id = 10;
refId = 8;
toolTip = "Foo, 26 minutes ago";
}
~~~
If it worked this way (or something similar) then it wouldn't be limited
to thread arcs. Any kind of alternative view of messages would be
allowed.
I'm just thinking out loud. I wouldn't even be able to implement thread
arcs in HTML myself. If anyone wants to play with this then I think I
