8:00 – 3:00 SR

• Rolled back the FA changes from Friday.
• More server problems – things like lost endpoints. Restarted the VM, which seemed to fix it.
• Bill didn’t get my email with the test code in it. Trying to send him the link instead.
• Fixed the callout incorrect name bug.
• Starting on Similarity Distance widget, since it’s a straightforward extension of the network widget. Speaking of which, I need to make NetworkCanvas and NetworkComponent JSON friendly.
• Today’s progress: http://philfeldman.com/WebGLSimDistTest.html

8:00 – 5:00 SR

• DB backups
• Got all the add and delete parts of pie charts working
• Added callouts.
• Here’s the link again: http://philfeldman.com/WebGLPieChartTest.html

Phil 8:00 – 5:30 SR

• Hey! A full day that I can work!
• Backups
• Integrating wedge size adjustment – animation, tooltips, add and delete, and rippling across all the wedges.
• Got size adjustment working, but timing is off? Fixed.
• Adding wedges is done.
• Rippling is done.
• Working on deleting wedges. Done, but there are some artifacts. Select doesn’t work the first time on post-deleted wedges. Auto naming is too naive – we can get multiple “Pie Chart 3”, for example. There needs to be an overall count or id field.
• Anyway, here’s progress for testing on other machines: http://philfeldman.com/WebGLPieChartTest.html

8:00 – 1:00

• DB Backups
• Pie charts
  • Creating a WebGLPieWedgeComponent so that it can hang on to the current and desired angles and calculate transitions as needed.
  • Refactored wedge calculation to reside in WebGLPieWedgeComponent.
  • Hanging onto start and end angles as well as vertices.

8:00 – 3:00 SR

• DB Backups
• FA deploy
• JSON – yep, that worked, and in all browsers. Yay.
• Adding legend elements to WebGlComponent. It will kind of work like dprint, where each component draws its own legend in the given spot. Done

8:00 – 5:00 SR

• DB backups
• Lenny is now security guy for our servers! And is getting the paperwork done that I was forbidden to do. And our authorization is now through September 9
• Pie Charts!
  • Chart description (XML or JSON?). XML. And after a lot of flailing, I’m producing an xml description and reading it in. JS is very clunky WRT traversing XML. Basically every time I think it’s going to be something easy, JS makes it into an all day affair.
    • But wait! There’s more! MS and Safari parse XML differently than FF and Chrome. Rather than monkeypatching, I’m going to JSON. THis looks like the YUI link: https://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/dataschema/dataschema-json.html
  • Tooltips
  • Calculations
  • resizing
  • Legend (in 2D overlay. Match the color to the Math.max(ambientColor, emissiveColor) of the wedge.
  • Labels (plus percent/value) with indicator lines leading to the outer top of the wedge. This means that labels will need to have a 3D offset option.
  • Upload?

8:00 – 12:00, 2:00 – 5:00 SR

• DB backups
• The svn backups failed yesterday when my computer decided to reset the connection to the server. Trying again.
• Add compute vertex normals to the pie chart – see if we can get rid of the flat shading artifacts.
• Make a pieChartCanvas – done. Now moving the wedge creation parts into the canvas.
• Read in XML configuration files for pie chart and network chart.

Progress for today:

8:00 – 5:00 SR

• Backups
• Found some issues in the slides where PM Actuals are greater than Obligations. Lenny’s looking into what might be the issue. Possibly dates.
• Meeting with Tim?
• Charts!
  • Fixed the non-square bug. I was stepping values by the wrong side.
  • Now, that’s a nifty looking pie chart if I say so myself:

8:00 – 4:00

• Backups
• Submitted Lenny as our sever security guy.
• Charts!
  • Worked on calculating the pie chart geometry. Close, but the math only works for squares. Somewhere is a bug that has the radius and angle sides confused. Tomorrow…
• ToDo:
• • Create a pie chart canvas
  • Better reflection map.
  • Look into tessellation as a way to create a curved surface, otherwise a grid who’s y-axis conforms to a hemisphere should be fine.
  • Better background
  • Add lighting for selected wedge
  • Start on XML description of chart data
  • Animated transitions for value changes. Remember that the arc perimeter will have to travel on polar coordinates
