Project team member and potential mentors, add your content here. The format suggested below is just an idea. Play with the layout, but please don't mess with content provided by other projects. Please be sure to follow branding guidelines (e.g. "Eclipse Dash", not "Dash"). Putting things in alphabetical order seems like a fair thing to do. Links to content hosted elsewhere are fine, but bear in mind that this page will likely be the main point of contact for people who are not already inside your community.

Eclipse 4diac

Eclipse 4diac is an environment for programming distributed industrial process measurement and control systems according to the IEC 61499 standard.

Topic 1: Add OCL for Detecting Model Inconsistencies in 4diac Models

Eclipse provides a OCL (Object Constraint Language) infrastructure. This allows to specify generic constraints a model has to fulfill. This can be utilized in Eclipse 4diac to add checks for issues and inconsistencies in the models developed in 4diac.

Skills required: Java, eCore, OCL beneficial

Possible mentor: Alois Zoitl

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them on to the 4diac mailing list.

Eclipse SWTChart

SWTChart is a powerful library to create charts and display data using SWT. It can be easily used in Java desktop applications. Only a few lines of code are necessary to create interactive and feature rich charts:

public class MyChart extends MassSpectrumChart {
 
	public MyChart(Composite parent) {
		super(parent, SWT.NONE);
		initialize();
	}
 
	private void initialize() {
 
		IChartSettings chartSettings = getChartSettings();
		chartSettings.setCreateMenu(true);
		applySettings(chartSettings);
		//
		List<IBarSeriesData> barSeriesDataList = new ArrayList<IBarSeriesData>();
		IBarSeriesData barSeriesData = new BarSeriesData(SeriesConverter.getSeriesXY(SeriesConverter.BAR_SERIES_1));
		barSeriesDataList.add(barSeriesData);
		//
		addSeriesData(barSeriesDataList);
	}
}

Topic: Extending the export options

Many export options are contained already, e.g. to export to bitmaps as well as to scripts. The R script option is really helpful, especially when preparing scientific charts for publication, but it needs improvements. As the data is stored in a generic way, many different export options can be implemented. The following improvements are needed:

  • Improving/optimizing *.svg export for Inkscape
  • Extend the R-script export
  • Improve the *.png and *.jpg options using the display
  • Create bitmaps natively (no restriction regarding resolution and size of the display)


Skills required: Java, SWT
