Visualization

This includes work in the Display Library (DL), and in applications using this library.

Priorities

DL development transition: David Barnes will be leaving AIPS++ during this development cycle, and securing a smooth transition in development in this area is a high priority. This includes training other developers in the DL, and in distributing design knowledge of the library more broadly.
Provision of uv-visualization services: The DL has provided excellent support of image visualization, and continuation of the effort to expand this capability to uv-data visualization is a high priority.

Initial DL programmer documentation: Provision of an AIPS++ note describing the high-level collaboration of the DL classes, the expected and supported services, and the implementation of the DL/GlishTk binding. (DB, H, 1 wk).
Multiple GlishTk use: Use multiple GlishTk servers to enhance speed. (DB, H, 1 wk).
Multi-WCH support: Add support for multi-WCH to allow multi-panel displays. (DB, H, 2 wk).
Add coordinate system to WC: Add coordinate system support to the world canvas. (DB, H, 1 wk.).
Support DL programmer training: Provide assistance for new DL programmers; visits, e-mail and teleconferences. (DB, H, 2 wk).
Improvements in animation and blinking: Support multi-WCH and coordinate systems on the WC in animation and blinking. (DB, M, 2 wk).
Review current uv-visualization requirements: Review and revise the current uv-visualization requirements document. (TM, H, 1 wk).
Complete uv-data TB raster display data: Complete familiarization with the DL; implement first uv-data time-baseline raster display data. (TM, H, 8 wk).
Initial interactive editor using TB display data: Complete the first TVFLG-like interactive editor using the TB display data. (TM, H, 3 wk).
DL infrastructure familiarization: Become familiar with the DL infrastructure. (DK, H, 8 wk.).
