Hi Torkild,
I like the idea of the scientific community to start
sharing code via the Eclipse repository. The swt-xy-graph
sounds like an excellent starting point as plotting is the
most common activity of all scientific applications. I would
vote for this if Xihui
and ORNL agree of course.
I suggest you add your product to the (growing) list of
scientific applications based on Eclipse:
BTW SIMA and in general the work on wind turbines by
Marintek looks very interesting. This is the first time I
have heard about it.
I agree it would be great to have a session dedicated to
scientific applications at the future EclipseCons.
Best regards
Andy

willing to share the "compressing data provider" extension
we made for this API - if there is any interest of course.
This extends the swt-xy-graph
by adding code that will take into consideration the
available pixels when drawing large data series. We need to
get an official OK from MARINTEK which owns this bit, but
that is only a formality.

to be a part of the Science IWG code base we need to put all
of it into an Eclipse repository. We must get an OK from
Xihui Chen and we will also need his help to establish
provenance and get through
a CQ[1] along with any tidy-up required. I don't know how
this is normally done so I've added
emo@xxxxxxxxxxx
(Wayne Beaton) to the CC. Anyway, as I'm already an Eclipse
committer I'll help out in any way I can.

consider this the less desirable option.

simulations, modeling, 3D and so forth ;-)
And it would be great if we also get other talks from the
Science IWG community. If we cannot get these into the
official program we could still do shorter versions at one
or more BoFs. I would certainly love to see what you all are
up to.
