MultiView Issues

Overview

This is a page to discuss assorted muti-view issues.

Close/Destroy Render Modules

• When a user closes a multi-view frame it can do one of two things:
  • Close the frame and hide the render module/window.
    • Requires means to un-hide a render window.
    • User needs to be aware that the render module must be explicitly destroyed.
  • Close the frame and destroy the render module.
    • User looses any displays he/she setup in that render module.

MultiView Animation

• When saving an animation, the movie generated should include all the views (or may be provide the user with an option to save all or only the active view).
• The closer it is to WYSIWYG, the better. I.e., the movie has the same window arrangement as what is seen in the main GUI.
• Plots should be saved in some form when doing an animate and disconnect. Ideally, they would look the same as the client side plots.

Maximize/Pop-out View

• It should be possible to maximize a view.
• It may be possible to pop a view out into a separate window that the user can them maximize/resize etc.
