No I’m not dead, yet.
Here some news about my work in the gephi team:
CPAN-Explorer
- CPAN Explorer is online : http://cpan-explorer.org (see the website for more informations)
- My next blog post will be a tutorial on how publish a map generated from gephi (in SVG file format) to the web, like the ones used on http://cpan-explorer.org
- I’m not satisfied yet with the authors map, and of course the packages map, which is unreadable from the embedded javascript map. I will discuss the reasons and alternatives in my next blog post
Gephi Timeline Component
- I made some GUI mockups (created a Timeline with Gimp, pixel by pixel)that provide some guidance
- I’m just thinking about how to divide the GUI into the corresponding layers and Java components..
- … by looking at other GUI modules in the gephi 0.7 branch
GUI:
- a menu to select the metric (data used for the chart)
- An upper viewport containing the timeline overview, with mouse-selectable zone
- An optional bottom viewport containing a zoom on the selection
- A button switch for the optional bottom viewport
API:
- Control over the current position of the timeline : setPositionTo()
- Control over the player: play(), pause(), setSpeed()
