Legend Module
Posted: 29 Mar 2012 18:11
I am interested in GSOC idea of implementing Legend in Preview Module.
As of now this is in short what I have understood and planned. I would create a legend plugin panel in the user interface. User can add/remove any attribute from the pannel and customize according to himself. There would be following division in legends -
1) Title and author information
(In this user will have to explicitly enter the details in the text box)
2) Colour (what group each colour specifies) - will get data from Partition module
3) Statistics - total no of nodes, total no of edges, average degree, diameter, average shortest path, etc. (as in this example ) - will get data from Statistics module
4) Ranking - we can have interactive legend as shown in the this paper (fig1, fig2) for node/edge color, sizes, etc. - will get data from Ranking module.
User can move the legend on the screen and put it at the place of his choice.
In the preview module I have to make changes in render system as it will render data from legend module also. I will do more of research and search for good example of graph with legends.
Please let me know if I am missing something.
