[stem-dev] Update on graphical editor and new committer forms

[James Kaufman <kaufman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jan, Thank you very much! As soon as you
have the link please send it to Judy and me and we will add it to the STEM
wiki contents for V1.2.0

Wayne, emo-ip-team,

Jan-Frederik, Dirk, and Armin
have filled out the online new committers questionaire. 
The paper questionaire signed
by their employer (Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung, FG 43 - Epidemiologie
und Zoonosen, Diedersdorfer Weg 1, 12277 Berlin) should already be on file
at Eclipse. 
Please see the note from Jan-Frederik
below.

Best Regards,
Jamie

Hey Jamie,
 
sure, I will create a preliminary page with a tutorial
that explains the application and functions.
 
I filled out the online questionnaire for the "paperwork"
items, the paper questionnaires are those that we have already sent? So
do we still have to do anything for the committer status? 
 
 
 
In the last few weeks I was busy with reporting duties
in my project (to keep the cash cow alive..), so I could not do as much
as I wanted.
A little overview what I am working on, just for your
interest:
 
The graph editor can now be called from the "model
items" in the explorer list of the designer perspective (instead of
the graph items). So, right-click on a model to get the canonical graph
and click on a graph reference under the models to get the editor with
the selected graph. So far only top-level models, have to implement adapters
like I did for the graph references under the models.
 
Still have to work on the saving now; especially when
editing a canonical graph. In the protocol of 03/16/2011 it is implied
to offer the options to save the canonical graph as a new file and also
to save the respective changes in the associated graph files. Seems to
be possible, I work on the solution for this:
 
Model contains graphs for: area (label), population (label),
nodes (with spatial information), edges (containment), edges (common border).
Open canonical graph
Add label to a chosen node
save label change only in corresponding graph file.
 
 
Afterwards, I guess JUnit test must follow?
 
I'll keep you informed!
 
 
Jan

Jan, Dirk, 

Do we have a page on the wiki documenting the graphical editor? If so I'd
like to add a link to it from under tutorials. If we don't have it yet
could you please create a page? It you are not ready to write it does not
have to complete or polished yet (you can write under construction) but
I'd like to get the links set up. 

also, I added a new dependency on Zest for building STEM (as the graphical
editor requires it). 

Best Regards and Thank you!!
