SCEC VDO VTK Notes

Items to be fixed:

Main view

• initial view is weird angle
• need to implement escape key to reset view
• No splash screen / loading interface
• full-screening doesn't change the size of the GUI or the display; display should become larger
• Ability to take snapshots?
• Save as hangs for awhile, not sure if it does anything
• Zoom used to be position-dependent; it would slow down near the surface. Bring back?
• Is there a reason political boundaries, graticule, drawing tools aren't plugins?
• bar at bottom of 3D view was helpful for displaying information on what you clicked on, should be brought back or alternative mechanism implemented

Graticule

• No compass appears

Drawing Tools

• No way to place the text where you want it

Earthquake Catalog

• Catalog is loaded in the view, but no item appears in the GUI scrollbar.
• EQ catalog animation locks GUI, should happen in another thread so that you can still navigate while playing catalog
• Transparency slider doesn't seem to work
• Gradient options aren't applied to visuals

Faults

• No checkbox for items in list
• Changing the wiremesh mode doesn't have an impact
• Clicking on the color box in the list doesn't do anything
• "Filter through ROIs" doesn't do anything

Surface Plugin

• None of the presets work
• Nothing happens when I try to load a surface from disk (no Open dialog)
• Downloading image/DEM from web services works but displays incorrectly. Image seems to wrap around the back at zero altitude with many artifacts
• Downloading image alone with no DEM hangs indefinitely
• No transparency control

Scripting Plugin

• Looks like GUI needs work?
• Green ball appears when I run a script
