| [nebula-dev] nebula visualization |
Hi Wim,
Thanks for helping me do my first commit to visualization. I do not think we have met before – maybe at eclipse con? Not sure. I will be at the US eclipse con in March.
You wrote that you hope the change will be the first of many. Well we have made scores to hundreds of improvements to an old fork of xygraph (from its css days). Today I renamed the plugins/packages in our fork to nebula paths. This means that I can swap our nebula.visualization for your master one. I do not really know where to start with the merging (see our versions at:
)
I suppose I should make a bugzilla ticket for each change? The changes we made broadly fall into:
1. 1. A
swappable tick mark generator with an alternative implementation (which we use
by default).
2. Ability
to make toolbar a SWT one as well as a draw2d one.
3. Change
to many classes to allow inheritance. (We have a number of figures ~20, with
which we interact by selecting data from the plotting.)
4. OSGI
change: adding activator.
5. Creation
of NoRepeatsPointsList a class used to help make large XY graphs more
efficient.
6. Addition
of IAnnotationLabelProvider to provide alternative annotation labels.
7. Addition
of setAxisAutoscaleTight(...) method to Axis to change autoscale padding.
In the future we would like to add some small improvements too.
So my question basically is that since we have a lot of changes and differences – how can I approach merging the two?
