Diana - roadmap

Current tasks

Vertical cross-sections

Use fimex to read vertical cross-sections

refactoring current vcross code

Vertical profiles

Use fimex to read vertical profiles

Field edit / chart production

Remove production database

Write products to file

Use the NetCDF format (fields)

Polygons, points etc

Data from shape, ascii, KML

Time dependent/independent

Datatypes

polygons(coordinates, text, colour etc)

points (coordinates, text, url, colour, marker etc)

Texts available on the map or in separate textbox

Editable

Priority levels, just plot the most important info (?)

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)

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
