The team has reached its first checkpoint and we have completed a functional Visualization! We have two checkpoints left including the Wattdepot browser and Realtime updates.
This first week had everyone planning a lot. We meet with Robert Brewer on two separate occasions for questions and we had our first meeting with Professor Johnson. We laid out a plan last week and have discussed the idea of introducing various ideas into future versions of the visualizer, such as user defined annotations to our visualization timeline and support for multiple selections.
After the initial planning stages, we separated the work load into three separate components. The wicket, the javascript and annotated timeline visualization, and the table visualization. Our group member Ed was quick to jump on the task and had completed the basic layout of the applications and included all the required drop down and wicket for user selection. Although I didn't have much time during the week to look at our project, I was able to free up my schedule over the weekend and have churned out the completed javascript within the html files and we now have a fully functional although basic annotated timeline visualization. We are currently waiting for Kendyll to add in the ability to choose between the timeline or a quick table format to view the data.
So what items are left on the list? We have the Wattdepot Browser and the Realtime updates. Since The third time cannot be worked on until Robert can update wattdepot to support this push of data will have decided to split up the work into two parts for the coming week. We will be working on enhancements for the visualization app to add more functionality to it and simplify the look. We will also be planning out the basic layout for the Browser. Our plans are to hopefully have both the Browser and the Visualizations working by next week, then work on enhancing the product until we can move onto the final leg before our February 9th milestone.
