PCM Development/EDP2/Visualization

EDP2 Visualization is an extensible plugin-project for Eclipse, which is required to display data provided in the structure of PCM_Development/EDP2. The whole project can be accessed via SVN: EDP2

Usage

If you have added all required plug-ins to your Eclipse Run-Configuration, you can display a repository's EDP2-Data by opening the *.edp2 file with the ExperimentData Model Editor. At the moment, the display of data is possible by double-clicking a RawMeasurements object in the generated EMF-Editor of EDP2. To find a RawMeasurements object, you may need to navigate through the data using the Selection- or Tree-View of the ExperimentData Model Editor.

An EDP2-repository containing example data can also be found in the SVN

Features

The features of the final, complete visualization project will comprise the following:

• Eclipse-View for accessing and selecting EDP2-Data
  • Different sources of data: HDD or recently created simulation data in the system memory.
• Eclipse-Editor to visualize experiments' results
  • JFreeCharts
  • Textual information and summary
  • Evaluation using R
• Transformations and Adapters
  • Structure to automatically find possible visualizations for the selected type of data
  • Simple manipulation of data for improved visualization possibilities, e.g. Warmup-Filter
• Eclipse Properties-View
  • Manipulation of transformation and visual properties
  • Persistence of transformation and visual properties when eclipse is closed
  • Usage of mechanisms provided by Eclipse
• Extension points
  • Possibility of adding completely new ways of visualization
  • Possibility of adding new transformations
  • Possibility to customize visualization/transformation-sequences

Currently implemented

• JFreeChart editor
• Basic transformations
• Extension points
• Properties view and persistence

Extending the project

A guide on how a new visualization is created and added, is described in PCM Development/EDP2/Visualization/Create Custom View.
