Progress Report for the week of November 20, 1997

Accomplishments:

This week we made further progress with the Parallel Coordinates graph. We greatly increased the performance, but there are still a few bugs to work out. The screen isn't refreshing after it draws the graph in memory. I'm not sure why it behaves like t hat, but we are working on it. We were able to wrap up what we have into a .zip file so that you can see what we have so far. You can download it here. It isn't perfect, but it is what we have so far. You might have to click on a corner of a windows without resizing it in order to repaint the screen so you can see the graph. We've been working on a way of zooming. We have no problems drawing the graph bigger, but displaying it on a scroll pane is not working as well as we had hoped. We've found a module in the Swing library that contains a color selector. It seems to work well and will come in very useful. We all realize that we are behind our posted schedule. We also knew that it would be very difficult to stay on such a quick schedule. We will have the graphs implemented by Thanksgiving and will begin implementing the brush during Thanksgiving. We decided to use Sun's Java Coding Conventions as listed here for our coding.
