Work Completed

  • Worked on KISTI proposal, added text and references
  • Worked on material for MAE Hurricane ERC meeting
  • Worked on applying visualization styles to shapefiles in the data catalog and then saving the state. I am currently trying to get styles to apply properly, some API changes have occurred between the GeoTools we are using for MAEviz and what we have been using for Bard. If there is time this week, I will talk to Jong and have him look at what I am trying to do.

I took a personal day on Friday November 6, 2009. This week went as planned.

Work Completed

  • Visited Champaign & attended MAEviz Lunch
  • Completed Annual Ethics Training
  • Continued working on Bard Map View for viewing shapefile beans. I have basic support for shapefile rendering working. The next step is to determine how to define a Bridge shapefile using beans and limiting the view to show shapefiles of a particular type or types (e.g. a Bridge Viewer). After pushing the Data Catalog to a stopping point, we will focus on publishing a paper on the proof of concept.
