Hi,
We spoke about swt-xy-graph being the focus at a BOF last year, I think there was a similar conclusion. It would be productive to share on this API - great idea!
We could contribute an extension API which is open source and EPL licensed (some parts are Apache).
It extends swt-xy-graph to 2D and also with a 3D capability (using jreality/JOGL), although the 3D is obviously not swt-xy-graph. The entry point for the whole API is an eclipse like design here:
IPlottingSystem.java
with
ITraceSystem.java being the interface for plotting 3D things like surfaces as well
as 1D and 2D things using draw2D.
The 3D plotting is surfaces and points and stacked 1D plots. There is activity at the moment developing an iso-surface plotter, it is in the design stage only however. The video 4 here shows the 3D surface stuff:
http://www.dawnsci.org/tools/data-handling.
I will add an iso-surface video later this year.

Subject: Re: [science-iwg] Brief update on science-iwg related discussion at EclipseCon
Hi Torkild,
I like the idea of the scientific community to start sharing code via the Eclipse repository. The swt-xy-graph sounds like an excellent starting point as plotting is the most common activity of all scientific applications. I would vote for this if Xihui
and ORNL agree of course.
I suggest you add your product to the (growing) list of scientific applications based on Eclipse:
BTW SIMA and in general the work on wind turbines by Marintek looks very interesting. This is the first time I have heard about it.
I agree it would be great to have a session dedicated to scientific applications at the future EclipseCons.
Best regards
Andy

by adding code that will take into consideration the available pixels when drawing large data series. We need to get an official OK from MARINTEK which owns this bit, but that is only a formality.

emo@xxxxxxxxxxx (Wayne Beaton) to the CC. Anyway, as I'm already an Eclipse committer I'll help out in any way I can.

consider this the less desirable option.

And it would be great if we also get other talks from the Science IWG community. If we cannot get these into the official program we could still do shorter versions at one or more BoFs. I would certainly love to see what you all are up to.
