Preview Refactoring
Posted: 19 Mar 2011 18:09
This is the thread for asking more details about the Preview Refactoring proposal.
Please post new questions on facebook group too (https://www.facebook.com/groups/gephi)

Currently none, as the architecture is not reusable and there is no SPI.1. Knowing that Preview is currently using a Processing.org based render, does that mean Preview is mainly used by users of Gephi? Hom may other plugins extend the use of Preview? (I suspect automation, algorithm, snapshot in timeline, etc) ?
It totally needs to be rewritten, as explained in the specifications.2. Should we(I) determine that whether the Preview API need to be re-written?
What design pattern?3. Is the design pattern specified in Prefuse favoured to be used?
I was referring to whether the Preview design should follow Infovis reference model, which is a general specification for re-usable visualization toolkit design:What design pattern?
Thanks! I have added my application to the Preview Refactoring here:mbastian wrote:That sounds a good design indeed
