Re: [science-iwg] Eclipse - Science IWG

Philip,

Yes we have 3d capability and an open source license (currently apache for the 3d part). The code is on git hub dawnscience (https://github.com/DawnScience) in the 'dawn-ui' repo, we would welcome any collaboration.

There are videos of the current plotting capability, including 3d, on our website www.dawnscience.org under the videos section.

The plotting for 1D, 2D and 3D has a common interface with swappable implementations using extension points. That design is isolate plotting details from the rest of the analysis code and make it swappable. From time to time we do swap plotting system when something better is available and we let the user choose in a preference page of all registered plotting systems.

The 3D implementation behind this interface is currently based on JOGL/jreality. (The 2D and 1D ones are based on draw2d so that they can be used over RAP.)

We may make another 3D version based on javafx in the future. We currently have available; surfaces, stacks and scatter points, in the 3D plotter. An iso-surface from a 3D volume (volume rendering) is not available at the moment but some work is being done on this.

The code is volatile because we have a large team contributing there. Therefore if other groups use this code, we may have to make use of the branching/forking in git.

Best Regards,

Matt

Hi folks,

Ralph Müller organized a mailing list for us :-). Thanks Ralph!
I've also added the link to the mailing list on our preliminary Science-IWG wiki page:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Science_IWG

Please subscribe to the list to get the latest news and questions:

https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/science-iwg

Let's use it to stay in contact and to ask questions or to post issues, e.g.

* Does anyone know a good library to draw 3D graphs?
* We need help to evaluate our mass spectrometric data. Could we pay someone to solve the issue?
* Which are the points we would like to discuss on the EclipseCon in Boston?


Cheers
Philip

P.S.:
Keep in mind: EclipseCon 2013 in Boston, MA - a marvelous city :-)
