[RUBYPLOT-GSOC][DAILY][6 August] iruby

Planned Progress
Integrating iruby with Rubyplot

Progress
Tried to set up Rubyplot on my laptop but rmagick installation is giving some errors

Problems
I will find a solution for the errors and will continue the work

  • rmagick installation was having errors
  • Ruby was not working correctly due to presence of multiple versions

Plan

  • Set up Rubyplot
  • Work as planned
82

[RUBYPLOT-GSOC][DAILY][7 August] iruby

Planned Progress
Integrating iruby with Rubyplot

Progress

  • Completed setting up Rubyplot
  • Installed and tested out iruby notebooks
  • added a new method print_on_device to avoid code duplication in write and show

Problems

  • To include Rubyplot, should it be installed as a gem?

Plan

  • integrate iruby with rubyplot
83

[RUBYPLOT-GSOC][DAILY][8 August] iruby

Planned Progress
Integrating iruby with Rubyplot

Progress

  • Had the weekly meeting with Sameer.
  • Looked into building Rubyplot as gem, built it
  • Tested Rubyplot in irb and iruby notebook

Problems

  • During building the gem, there were some warnings
  • Rubyplot.set_backend is needed to be called to set the backend i.e. no default? (maybe because of next problem)
  • While setting GR backend using the command above there is an error NameError (uninitialized constant Rubyplot::Backend::GRWrapper)

Meeting details

  • Updated Sameer about the progress
  • Discussed things to be completed before final evaluation i.e. iruby integration, tutorials and ticks
  • Writing a blog on iruby integration while trying to generalize the method for integration for future users.
  • Useful links:
  1. https://github.com/mrkn/matplotlib.rb/blob/master/lib/matplotlib/iruby.rb
  2. https://github.com/domitry/nyaplot
  3. https://github.com/domitry/nyaplot/blob/master/lib/nyaplot/templates/iruby.erb
  4. https://github.com/domitry/nyaplot/blob/master/lib/nyaplot/plot.rb#L83

Plans

  • Look into the error for GR
  • Look into integration of show function with iruby notebook

Planned Progress
Integrating iruby with Rubyplot

Progress

  • Looked into the nyaplot code

Problems

Plans

  • Complete the iruby integration over the weekend
85

[RUBYPLOT-GSOC][DAILY][10-11 August] iruby

Planned Progress
Integrating iruby with Rubyplot

Progress

  • Looked into nyaplot code

Problems

  • Nyaplot uses image embedded in HMTL code to display on iruby notebook, it only uses show function to show images in iruby notebook and not independently i.e. no pop-up windows
  • To make the iruby integration consistent across backends and easily scalable, the function should not depend on the backends i.e. no specific properties of Magick or GR should be used
  • I think the best way to go for this is to store a temporary image using write function and then load the image and display it in iruby notebook

Plans

  • Complete the integration
86

[RUBYPLOT-GSOC][DAILY][12,13,14 August] iruby

Planned Progress
Integrating iruby with Rubyplot

Progress

  • Integrated Rubyplot with iruby notebook for Magick backend
  • Corrected the bug for changing the properties of canvas after first declaration

Examples

  1. Inline show (called Rubyplot.inline)

  2. Stoped inline (called Rubyplot.stop_inline)
    Screenshot%20from%202019-08-15%2006-25-32

Problems

  • GR backend is not yet integrated as set_backend function gives an error
  • To integrate GR backend and other backends in future, the approach mentioned in the previous update can be used

Plans

  • Complete the blogs
  • Implement ticks
