[science-iwg] SWT XYGraph/Nebula enhancements from DAWN

[Tracy Miranda <tracy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I want to highlight some ongoing enhancements to SWT XYGraph. Jonah Graham and Baha El-Kassaby will be working closely with the Diamond/DAWN folks to merge the Diamond fork of SWT XY Graph into the Eclipse Nebula project.

This is something that has been discussed at unconferences and on the mailing list, so thought some of you may be interested. 

What this means is that some of the really nice features and extensions the DAWN team have implemented over the years in SWT XYGraph will be more widely available as part of the Nebula project.

This includes:

Axes inversion functionality https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=513317

A Filled Circle point type https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=513868

Down the line this will include other features such as tick mark generation, enhanced toolbars, selection regions (regions of interest) and more. 

The umbrella bug for anyone interested in this work is https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=513865

Regards,

Tracy
