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

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)
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 The fimex library to read field data
- Read Felt-format, NetCDF (including ncml), Grib(1&2), and 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
- more...

Vertical cross-sections

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

Vertical profiles

Use fimex to read vertical profiles
