====== Diana - roadmap ======

=====Current tasks =====

==== Field edit / chart production ====
  * Remove production database
  * Write products to file
  * Use the NetCDF format (fields)
==== New drawing tool ====

  * Polylines, symbols, text
  * Time dependent/independent
  * EditObjects have properties like: id, priority, style
  * Possible to show/edit several layers
  * Possible to define styles in setup (Warm fronts, cold fronts etc)
  * Fileformat: KML

===== Tasks =====

==== Raster images ====

  * Use the field interface
  * Select channel mixing in the gui
  * [[rasterimages|more...]]

==== Web Map Services ====
  * producing WMS-layers
    * bdiana can produce maps for WMS servers, but this functionality needs improvment 
  * displaying WMS-layers
     * Diana should be able to display maps from WMS-servers 

==== Observations ====
 
  * More general plotting, all parameters available
  * Move parameter definitions to the setupfile
  *  Possible to mix data from different sources (metadata + data)
  * [[observations|more...]]
==== misc ====
  * All information available from ascii files should also be available from http
    * setupfile, ascii-obs, maps, product definitions 

===== Finished tasks =====

==== Projections ====

  * Diana are now using proj4 to handle projection, but there are some issues left:
    * Remove all reference to the old projection-library milib
    * There are still some problems when plotting spherical earth data on a map with spheroidal reference surface 
      * Resolved, but not implemented yet
    * UTM - diana do not understand UTM projections

==== Field interface ====

  * Use [[https://fimex.wiki.met.no|The fimex library]] to read field data
    * Read Felt-format, NetCDF (including ncml), Grib(1&2), and [[https://wdb.wiki.met.no|Wdb]]
    * FieldFunctions will use standard_names  (cf)
    
  * Definitions will be moved from the setupfile to gui
    * reference time
    * plot type (contour, wind arrows, values etc)
    * All fields from a data source should be available as 1-dimensional plots without any setupfile definitions
    * Plot definitions in the setupfile will be used to define: plotname, default options, multi-dimensional plots etc


==== Stations ====

  * New features in StationPlots 
    * StationDialog - select and manage StationPlots
    * New action: show url 
    * [[tasks:stations|more...]]

==== Vertical cross-sections ====
  * Use fimex to read vertical cross-sections
  * refactoring current vcross code

==== Vertical profiles ====
  * Use fimex to read vertical profiles
