GSoC 2022 PSF Blogs

Blog #22

Hello!

I’m really excited as this is my last week of coding for this program although I'm going to miss writing my blogs. As I write this now, I feel overwhelmed and happy to look back on the wonderful journey. Getting on to what I did the previous week, I completed building the CLI tool, wrote the documentation and a few tests. I was stuck for a while during the local build but my mentors helped me with that. I’m currently writing the GSoC final evaluation report and also trying the local build to check if everything works fine. In the coming weeks, you won’t see any weekly blogs from my side but I’ll continue contributing to MSS and work on the stretch goals. All said and done, I want to thank Google, Python Software Foundation, my awesome mentors, my friend Anand and family for all the support. This journey wouldn’t have been successful without you all!

Hii,

What did you do this week?

This week I tried to fix the errors in refactoring and I asked my mentors for help. They helped me and I was able to fix them. I’m currently working on the CLI tool to read settings from a json file. I’m also excited and nervous at the same time as my final evaluation is next week.

What is coming up next?

In the coming week, I’ll be working on testing the CLI tool and also writing documentation for it.

Did you get stuck anywhere?

No, I didn’t get stuck anywhere.

This week I'll be working to add flightpath vertices coloring feature in multiple flightpath dockwidget. And also, optimizing the current plotting code of flightpaths.

2. What is coming up next week?

In next week, the target would be to add linewidth for flightpaths. I'll also be implementing similar list for mscolab operations as their for local flighttracks.

Hii,

In the past week I received a review on my PR on refactorisation. I’m working on fixing those issues. We also had a meet where I clarified my doubts regarding the CLI tool. I wasn’t well towards the end of the week due to which I couldn’t work much. I’m better now and I’ll continue with fixing the errors in the refactoring. In the coming week after fixing the errors, I’ll continue my work on the CLI Tool.

Hii,

What did you do this week?

This week I worked on refactoring and testing of the top, side and linear views. I completed most of it and have asked my mentor for a review. One issue I faced was the labels weren’t getting plotted while testing in the plot module. I have asked a doubt regarding that to my mentor. I also started working on the CLI tool and I completed a prototype tool using Click.

What is coming up next?

In the coming week I’ll be working on building the CLI tool to address the 2 use cases mentioned in my proposal.

Did you get stuck anywhere?

No, I didn’t get stuck anywhere.

Hii,

In the past week I worked on testing the interactor classes. As I worked on it, I realised more changes need to be done in the refactoring process. So currently I'm doing the refactoring and also testing at the same time.I got stuck for a while in the process while I was not getting the path and labels plotted. My mentors have given me some comments on the same and I'm working on it now. I also got some time to read the documentation of Click, which is the library I'm using to build the CLI tool. I hope to complete the refactoring and testing within a few days and continue with building the CLI tool.

Week 14 - Morphing is here!

anandshivam54321@gmail.com (xtanion) — Mon, 10 Oct 2022 12:28:26 +0000

What did you do this week?

This week, I started with Multiple actor support in skinning and managed to do it successfully. Here's the preview using the BrainStem model.

Implementing multiple animation channels support (as seen in the Fox model). The get_skin_timelines() method now returns a dictionary of all animation channels with Timeline as their value.
We merged two PRs, #689 (colors from Material) and #643 (simple animations).
Added ability to load morphing information and create timelines from it. Here's a preview of the AnimatedMorphCube and AnimatedMorphSphere models:

What is coming up next week?

Cleaning and Rebasing Skinning animation PR #685.
Creating a PR for morphing code.
Multi primitive (actor) support in morphing.

Did you get stuck anywhere?

No, I didn't get stuck this week.

Week 16 - Working with Rotations!

praneethshetty10@gmail.com (ganimtron_10) — Sat, 08 Oct 2022 15:53:02 +0000

What did you do this week?

Last week my mentors noticed that each DrawShape has its individual rotation_slider which increases redundancy and complexity in setting its visibility on and off. Instead, they suggested moving the rotation_slider to DrawPanel and keeping a common slider for all the shapes.

PR #688 does the above mentioned thing.
There isn't any visual difference as everything is as it was earlier, just the code was modified a bit to make it work properly.

After this, I started working with the rotation for the Polyline feature. For rotating the Polyline, I implemented something similar to what I had did while rotating the individual shapes. Firstly I calculate the bounding box and the center of the shape, then apply the rotation to the points through which the polyline was generated.

Polyline:

As we can see above the rotation seems correct but as earlier the shape is translating from its original center. This should be easy to fix.

Did you get stuck anywhere?

Instead of implementing the approaches for creating and managing the `Polyline`, I kept on thinking of various ideas on how I could do so, which wasted my time. I should have thought about some approaches and tried to implement them so that I would get an idea of whether things would work or not.

What is coming up next?

Working on Polyline to make sure everything works fine.
