Things we have to get right
- File dialogue must be great, and must be out early.
- Saving state - what's local, what's on the server.
- Testing
- Undo
Important Questions
- Is ParaQ a Pipeline or a Window based UI. How do we support a useful, understandable multi-view, multi-pipeline application?
- Do we support Multiview' or Dockable window management paradigms? Do we support both?
- What does a graph show, in a multi-view application? What is its update paradigm?
- How do we manage Views and Layouts - what you're looking at, and how it's laid out?
- What is our version number for the Sept. '06 release?
- What are our general multiview interaction mechanisms?
- What are our general Compound Filter interactions for editing and saving?
- Do we have an Accept/Reset paradigm?
- Support Abort of PVSM updates.
Notes
Code Walkthrough
Pipeline
Multiview Objects
Python
Compound Proxies
Element Inspector
Charting
- CSS-like attributes to control font, etc.
- Printing
- Maintain axes when zooming into chart data.
- Do we need a world-view on a chart, for zoomed in interaction?
UI Persistence
UI design items
General
- Right mouse click in QVTKWidget - conflict with context menu in windows.
- Improvements in Auto-generated UI panels.
- Design method for adding code to hand-coded UI panels.
- Should it always be a QT Designer-based thing?
- Should we support a script-like way of changing UI in the field? Non-compiled?
- Compound filter creation/editing/loading.
- Zoom/pan etc. - should they be the same as CUBIT?
Pipeline Browser
Major issues
- Simple fan-out
- Multiple sources
- Show things that aren't 'ON' (what's on; how is it shown?)
- Pipeline vs. Windows interaction paradigm?
- Context menu (right mouse click)
- What are the basic operations we can do?
- How does this support Compound Filter operations (creation/editing/loading)
- How would you add 'histogram selection stuff' to ParaQ (what do you add in the UI, where, and how does the user understand it?
Design Decisions
- Make a hierarchy view
- Rightmost column is 'Root' of a pipeline
- Indent from left immediately from a root
- Indent from left for fan-out
- Fan-in becomes a new root, with the fan-in node being referenced in the 'correct' location in the hierarchy.
- Icons to be designed by ETI.
Dockable vs. Split View
Decisions
- All 'views' are the same stuff - there is no restriction on what can be in a piece of the screen.
- UI elements are dockable.
- Views are not dockable - they are part of a split-screen main screen that we manage totally.
- Users cannot pull a 'view' out of the main UI.
- See action items for review of further issues.
Current State
- Current variable (including range, etc.)
- Current timestep
File Browser
- Should we use the standard, platform-specific browser?
- Coordinate with CUBIT application.
Prism over ParaQ
Corey presented the current build of prism, and discussed what we'll need from ParaQ in order to build Prism v3.0.
- How do we manage the filters, etc. that make up the SESAME view.
ParaQ Usability
- Accept/Reset. Q: how should the general interaction work?
- Instant update
- Interrupt
- VTK does not currently support Abort
- Support contiuous changes, with updated/out-of-date UI support (show the user what is out-of-date, so he can update it as needed)
- Note that UI is not on a separate thread ... responsiveness is limited by Server Manager.
