Phil 5.4.15

7:00 – 10:00, 12:00 – 4:00 SR

  • After a marathon writing session, I finished the first draft of the paper this weekend.
  • Going to look into making a pure chart directive for static-ish information. Not sure how angular will treat it.
  • Read Dong’s link about dependency injection. Very nice
  • Helped Dong debug some. I think… The new injection scheme works too! Damn. Only for Controllers and Services.
  • Tomorrow, we’ll get the data integrated and change the ng-switch to ng-route.

Phil 5.1.15

8:00 – 4:30 SR

  • Deployed the login fix
  • And for some reason, my machine could only connect to Google when I came in. nslookup was timing out on dns1.wcc. Poking around seems to have fixed it.
  • Helping Dong with the charting code.

Phil 4.30.15

8:00 – 4:00 SR

  • In my defense, the 800 MB download includes a version of Angular and threeJS. With examples and documentation. So there :-b
  • Got onto one of our new servers. It also looks like Ronda is able to transfer files, even if I can’t. The new process may be to ask Bill to send the files to her for upload. I do think that at the very least, we can have all three servers share a drive for uploads and updates.
  • Spent most of the morning getting Dong up and running with the TypeScript dev environment. For some reason, Visual Studio interferes with GNUMake.
  • Started walking through the TypeScript structure of the chart code. Tomorrow, we’ll try to integrate the dataprovider.

Phil 4.27.15

8:00 – 2:00 SR

  • Ronda has gotten us some new servers debug, integration and production!
  • She’s going to start by setting up Java, MySql and Tomcat of the debug server
  • Mark came by with a login problem for FA. Some sort of remote object issue. Took a screenshot for Dong.
  • Installing new WebStorm – done
  • Dong finished the JSON code, now we need to integrate.

Phil 4.24.15

8:00 – 4:00 SR

  • Filled out financial NDA
  • Work on having two charts, then move into slideshow using ng-switch?
  • two charts – check!
  • WordPress on Win 8.1(?) now wants to make the edit area short. It can be temporarily stretched by using the HTML tab and dragging the lower right corner. Reverts after a save though.
  • Two charts with two controllers – check! And inheritance is working perfectly. This is my entire second chart controller definition: 
    export class Chart2MainCtrl extends Chart1MainCtrl {
   constructor(timeout:ng.ITimeoutService) {
      super(timeout);
      this.dataFormat = { // might add 2D/3d, dynamic/static, etc.
         outlayGoals: {label:"Outlay Goals", objectName:"outlayGoals", type:"area", hexColor:0xFFAAAA},
         obligationGoals:{label:"Obligation Goals", objectName:"obligationGoals",  type:"area",hexColor:0xFFFFAA},
         pm_actuals:{label:"PM Actuals", objectName:"pm_actuals",  type:"bar",hexColor:0xAAFFAA},
         facts:{label:"Facts", objectName:"facts",  type:"bar",hexColor:0xAAAAFF},
         future_pm_actuals:{label:"Future PMA", objectName:"future_pm_actuals",  type:"area",hexColor:0x00FF00},
         future_facts:{label:"Future FACTS", objectName:"future_facts",  type:"area", hexColor:0x0000FF}
      };
   }
}
  • And this is how the Angular module uses them: 
    module AngularApp {
   // define how this application assembles.
   class AngularMain {
      appModule:ng.IModule;

      public doCreate(
         angular:ng.IAngularStatic,
         chart1Ptr:Function,
         chart2Ptr:Function,
         glDptr:Function) {

         this.appModule = angular.module('appMain', []).
            controller('glCtrl1',['$timeout', chart1Ptr]).
            controller('glCtrl2',['$timeout', chart2Ptr]).
            directive('ngWebgl', ['$timeout', glDptr]);
      }
   }

   new AngularMain().doCreate(
      angular,
      WGLA2D_ctrl.Chart1MainCtrl,
      WGLA2D_ctrl.Chart2MainCtrl,
      new WGLA2_dirtv.ngWebgl().ctor
   );
}
  • Adding slide controller. Had a brief fright when I forgot to add the ng-switch and just used the ng-switch-when. Everything works though. Uploading it to my server.
  • Working with getting text and the graphs behaving well togther. And although I’ve written somewhere else in this blog, I can’t find my post of viewport relative CSS sizing, so here’s another link….

Phil 4.23.15

8:00 – 4:00 SR

  • No change on network disks.
  • Talked to Lenny about more statistical analysis of PM Actuals vs Facts. We can treat the reqs as the population and look for outliers. Ranked lists based on performance are a goal.
  • Subversion was still having read/write problems. I attempted to change the URL, just to see what would happen (That didn’t work), but when I tried to check in again at the old Vis2 address, the checkin worked. It seems like the edit action did a chown on all the items in the repo. Good thing to know! Anyway, http://www.philfeldman.com/VisN2 is now working 🙂
  • Migrating to my new dev box and laptop. That is a *lot* of monitors…

Phil 4.22.15

8:00 – 2:00 SR

  • Still unable to access remote drives and no ticket. Sigh.
  • Still fixing svn.
  • Going to try to move the IChartGrid object to the base class and then inherit to create a new chart.

Phil 421.15

8:00 – 4:00 SR

  • Meeting with Dong, Lenny & Chris. Charts are the priority.
  • Working on migrating the chart grid to WegGlCharts.
  • Fixing subversion. Looks like the easiest thing to do is to copy over the old repo to the new one?
  • Tried copying, but the permissions were wrong. Trying this 
    • svnadmin dump /path/to/repository > repository-name.dmp
    • svnadmin create repository-name [--fs-type fsfs] <-optional?
    • svnadmin load repository-name --force-uuid < repository-name.dmp
  • Finished moving over chartbg to WebGlCharts. Creating a chart now looks like this: 
    var months:any = this.dataProvider.mappings[0];
var charts:WglCharts.ConfiguredChart = new WglCharts.ConfiguredChart(rb, this.dataProvider, this.dataFormat);
charts.setChartGrid(cg);
charts.add2DCharts(months);

Phil 4.20.15

8:00 – 4:00 SR

  • Still having problems accessing my virtual drives from the server. Will try again tomorrow.
  • Moving common chart components to WebGlCharts.
  • Showed Dong how I’m getting server data
  • We also discussed unit testing. We’ll target the test code at the generated JavaScript, since we’re testing logic at that point.

4.17.15

7:00 – 3:00 SR

  • Deploy new FR fixes
  • Meeting with Lenny and Chris
  • Financial paperwork! Finished, though I had to go back a couple of times.
  • Since the charting is somewhat stable for the moment, I went back to improving the dbObjects to handle matrix operations.

Phil 4.16.15

8:00 – 2:00 SR

  • Charts are working. One really odd bug. The alert (blocking) dialog that pops up to notify non-hardware rendering is interfering with the render. There must be some kind of odd race condition. Removing it seems to fix?
  • Once the review charts are done, the next thing Lenny wants is the truancy reports. Then add Baseian prediction of those most likely to be late.
  • Installing software on new box
  • Got Skolded. Now what?

Phil 4.15.15

8:00 – 12:00 SR

  • My remote drives are not working on the servers any more. Put in a ticket
  • Fixed the Month1 != Month10 problem Dong found.
  • Was going to deploy the chart test but Bill had to leave. Maybe tomorrow.
  • Timesheets!

Phil 4.14.15

8:00 – 4:30 SR

  • FR seems to be running smoothly. Didn’t see Lenny.
  • Found a better linear regression class: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-math/apidocs/org/apache/commons/math3/stat/regression/SimpleRegression.html
  • Continuing to work on bars. Index and offset don’t seem to be working? Fixed.
  • Everything’s working. Now to automate the chart creation from the dataFormat and dataProvider.CombinedChart
  • Working out the interfaces for the format. This is helping a lot, particularly the ‘dictionary’ interface
  • Reworked the dataProvider and dataFormat interfaces and objects. This is now what it looks like:
  • DataFormat interface and example: 
    export interface IChartElementFormat {
   label:string;
   objectName:string;
   type:string; // "area", "bar", pie, cluster
   hexColor:number;
}

export interface IChartFormat{
   [label:string]:IChartElementFormat;
}

this.dataFormat = { // might add 2D/3d, dynamic/static, etc.
   goals: {label:"Goals", objectName:"goals", type:"area", hexColor:0xFF0000},
   obligations:{label:"Obligations", objectName:"obligations",  type:"area",hexColor:0xFFFF00},
   pm_actuals:{label:"PM Actuals", objectName:"pm_actuals",  type:"bar",hexColor:0x00FF00},
   facts:{label:"Facts", objectName:"facts",  type:"bar",hexColor:0x0000FF},
   future_pm_actuals:{label:"Future PMA", objectName:"future_pm_actuals",  type:"area",hexColor:0xAAFFAA},
   future_facts:{label:"Future FACTS", objectName:"future_facts",  type:"area", hexColor:0xAAAAFF}
};
  • DataProvider interfaces: 
    export interface IChartBoundries {
   xmin:number;
   xmax:number;
   ymin:number;
   ymax:number;
   zmin?:number;
   zmax?:number;
}

export interface IChartDataMapping{
   [label:string]:number;
}

export interface IMinMax {
   min:number;
   max:number;
}

export interface IChartDataElement{
   [label:string]:IMinMax;
}

export interface IChartDataCollection{
   [objectName:string]:IChartDataElement;
}

export interface IChartData{
   type:string;
   min_max:IChartBoundries;
   mappings:IChartDataMapping[];
   data:IChartDataCollection;
}
  • DataProvider example: 
    this.dataProvider = {
   type:'XY', // RAH (Radius Angle Height) RAE (Radius Azimuth Elevation), XYZ, etc.
   min_max:{xmin:0.00, xmax:11.00, ymin:0.00, ymax:3715.30},

  • Need to place the dataProvider in the html to see if it works there.

Phil 4.13.15

8:00 – 5:00 SR

  • Figured out Bayes Theorem and got some spreadsheet examples working over the weekend. It’s effective and appropriate.
  • Started modifying DBTypedTable to handle tables that are created by sequential calls to the DB. Basically a way of making mode sophisticated joins.
  • Adding items into the 2Dchart test.
  • All full area charts work.
  • Need to get area charts that only cover part of the chart working. Done
  • Need to add DataPoints to the bottom of area charts that are not zero. Done
  • Need to add clustered bars, based on the number of where the bar is in the order of the dataFormat object.
  • Need to throw an event (or do something similar) when an items is clicked.

Phil 4.10.15

8:00 – 4:00 SR

  • Possibly a good book to get? https://www.ng-book.com/
  • Working on getting regression to predict upper and lower bounds
  • Working out the structure of the dataFormat and dataProvider Objects
  • dataFormat example 
    this.dataFormat = { // might add 2D/3d, dynamic/static, etc.
   goals: "area",
   obligations:"area",
   pm_actuals:"bar",
   facts:"bar",
   pm_future:"area",
   facts_future:"area"
};
  • Matching dataProvider example. Note the _mappings array and the fact that all items have a min/max value as well as a chart-wide minmax (no Z in this case) 
    this.dataProvider = {
   _type:'XY', // RAH (Radius Angle Height) RAE (Radius Azimuth Elevation), XYZ, etc.
   _min_max:{xmin:0.00, xmax:11.00, ymin:0.00, ymax:3135.30},

  • In excel, the results look like the following. Now working on incorporating into the graphing system prediction
  • Setting up a method to calculate the screen positions of the data points based on the dataProvider. Got margins, datagrids and areaCharts working. BarCharts are next. I need to think about how to cluster the bars. I’ll also need to add additional DataPoints when the botom axis is not (zero? horizontal?)
