davidcox / plotsk Goto Github PK

I set up plotsk as described in the readme file. Everything ran through without errors. When I try to run the test I get the following error message:

Tuerkeil:test thorse$ python simple_test.py

The line 132 in plot.py where the error seems to be produced, consists of the command:
pth = self.bake()

Either needs support in the current 'range_frame' skeleton, or needs its own, new skeleton

Given that data series have a "unit" parameter, it should be possible to handle multiple scale "frames" for over-plotted data series with different units

A la showboat, it might be possible to embed a browser-based SVG editor, thus allowing a layer of arbitrary SVG annotations. Would need to think about the right way to save that "overlay"...

Could work in a similar manner to showboat. An interesting use case for this is when you are doing analyses on a server / cluster, but want to view analysis plot results on your local machine.

Infrastructure for combining multiple subplots into a single display (and possibly sharing the same data.json) would be nice. Simple div-based layout probably covers a large fraction of use cases, though fancier situations are easily imaginable (e.g. arrays of paired plots, with shared axes.

Currently not handled

Would be nice to have zooming, panning, and display-value-when-hovering support. There could be a parameter controlling whether these are enabled or not.

The SVG is already getting generated by D3, so pulling this out and saving it would be straightforward. PDF export could be achieved via a tool like wkhtmltopdf.
