This past week I...
- Explored Google Earth and its APIs.
- Figured out an algorithm for calculating vertices for drawing "circles" on a map.
- Figured out how to write a pie chart in KML.
- Explored Google Maps APIs.
- Learned some javascript.
- Learned how to embed Google Maps in a web page.
- Have a better idea of what the overall design of the program will be like.
Next week the focus is on fleshing out the application's design. I will...
- Produce a page by page description of what the user sees.
- To do so I will consider:
- How to input data. Are they going to upload files, input in a text box? What format?
- How to export data. Format? Data persistence? Can users store data, results, maps, etc.?
- What is the viewer? Google earth? Google maps?
- How large are the pie charts going to be in comparison with the geography?
- How do we deal with the problem of overlapping pie charts?
- How are we going to color the pie charts? What if there are large numbers of haplotypes, how do we color them all distinctly and usefully?
- The results of these decisions will be a comprehensive design document posted on the wiki.
