Road Map

On our road trip to summer school we will stop at these places in the order that they are listed:

Panning and zooming

Team: Chris C, Xuan

Tasks:

• Consolidate representations of netgraph and component panning and zooming
• Testing on different platforms (macs, tablets)

Where to start:

• Component
• NetGraph

Action Objects

Team: Brent, Sue, Chris C., Terry

Tasks:

• Create a concise format for communicating actions to server
• Implement undo stack

Where to start:

• NetGraph server-side
• NetGraph client-side

Top toolbar

Team: Chris C., Travis

Tasks:

• Implement a toolbar (or hidden list that is shown with a gear or other icon)

Where to start:

• How it worked in Nengo 1.4
• nengo_gui menu bar

Add more graph types

Team: Jan, Peter, Eric, Terry, Xuan, Brent

Tasks:

• Clean up server-side plot generation
• Implement 3D plot
• Implement sparkle plot
• Implement and show example of HTML plot
• Implement semantic pointer time plot
• Implement voltage plot
• Implement voltage grid

Where to start:

• On the Python side:
  • Underlying Component object
  • Example component (value)
• On Javascript side:
  • Underlying Component object
  • Example component (value)

Graphical overhaul

Team: Chris E., Jan, Xuan, Travis

Tasks:

• Standardize text size and font
• Nodes: squares
• Networks: rounded rectangles (radius should be percent-based so resizing changes rounding)
• Ensembles: six circle
• Better value plot colors, and other color stuff (Eric)

Where to start:

• NetGraphItem
• How it looked in Nengo 1.4
• The Java code that draws the Nengo 1.4 icons
• nengo_gui version

Source code Editor

Team: Chris E., Eric, Xuan

Tasks:

• Implement source code editor, like in nengo_gui
• Retire nengo_gui project

Where to start:

• nengo_gui
• Ace code editor, which nengo_gui uses

Cross-browser testing

Team: Jan, Peter, Sue, Xuan

Tasks:

• Safari for macs
• Automate testing

Where to start:

• Selenium cross-platform web browser testing
• Selenium in Python example
• Presentation about perceptual diffs
• Depicted perceptual diff tool
• Using Depicted and Selenium together (in Python)

Info windows

Team: Brent, Trevor

Tasks:

• Implement info window for ensembles (should have tuning curve in there somewhere)

Where to start:

• How it looked in Nengo 1.4 (note: we don't want to recreate this, I don't think)

Server-side names/parents optimization

Tasks:

• Merge the namefinder.py and the layout.find_parent() systems
• Optimize the resulting on-demand breadth-first search system

Minimap

Team: Travis

Tasks:

• Implement a minimap for navigating nengo_viz canvas

Where to start:

• https://github.com/nengo/nengo_viz/issues/65
• https://github.com/nengo/nengo_viz/issues/69

Multiple Views

Team: N/A (fuel permitting)

Tasks:

• Have multiple views on one model

Where to start:

• How nengo_viz handles incoming requests

Drag and drop components

Team: N/A (fuel permitting)

Tasks:

• Implement a palette for droppable items
• Make Ensemble a droppable item

Where to start:

• How it looked in Nengo 1.4
