eu_pie.txt ---------- required plugin SVG Viewer 1.0 versions 0.1 - 0.42 tested NN4.7dt/winnt5.0 IE5.5en/winnt5.0 NN4.7dt/winnt4.0 IE5.0en/winnt4.0 NN4.7en/MacOS (memory needs to be set at 30MB or higher.) version 0.44 - 0.5.0 tested NN4.7dt/winnt5.0 (on quick clicks for data-tables NN may crash) IE5.5en/winnt5.0 History ------- v0.1 svg with embeded javascript, no interaktion but fast rendering feature: simple pie-charts https://www.carto.net/papers/svg/eu/old/eu-0.1.svg v0.2 svg with embeded javascript, still no interaktion features: also radius-varyied pie-charts https://www.carto.net/papers/svg/eu/old/eu-0.2.svg v0.3 svg with embeded javascript, no interaktion features: composed pie-charts https://www.carto.net/papers/svg/eu/old/eu-0.3.svg v0.4 html with embeded svg and external javascript, interaktion added changes: the functions needed to be extracted from the svg file because of a major lack of communication between the html part and the plugin (in fact only variables are exchangeable between them in NN, no way to activate any script inside the svg from outside using IE!) major disadventage is the reduced rendering speed for the charts. fast computer needed! features: simple pie-charts, radius-varyied pie-charts and composed pie-charts possible all together link: https://www.carto.net/papers/svg/eu/old/index-0.4.html v0.42 first steps on to better data handling. cleaning up of some functions. less countries. new dataformat but still conversion into old one by a temporary function. the try to check out the biggest and smallest chart and setting scale and valRoot seems hard (impossible?) work. link: https://www.carto.net/papers/svg/eu/old/index-0.42.html v0.44 some layouting. and discovering of non implemented functions by the adobe-plugin as getId()...! changes: mouseover effect on countries, but no cartographic function yet. smaller svg-file, elimination of errors from the corel-export, introduction of linked cef-fonts. link: https://www.carto.net/papers/svg/eu/old/index-0.44.html v0.45 mouseover works on pie-charts now data output in work.... link: https://www.carto.net/papers/svg/eu/old/index-0.45.html v0.46 restructurating data-handling: not all the values are treated, a secondary function simplifies the data for the displaying function. by this way sorting of the charts from the biggest to the smallest one to get them displayed in the right order (smaller on top). new: optional filter effect on charts to separate them from each other. the effect is not always the same ... new data-output on childwindows by clicking on countries (full conty-data) or on charts (comparative table on choosen topic) link: https://www.carto.net/papers/svg/eu/old/index-0.46.html v0.5.0 1) frameset introduced, all functions adapted to this modular approach: - the bottom frame is static and contains all general geometric and charts functions - the middle frame contains the svg-area, and size-optimizes itself - the top frame changes on every new main topic and brings with it the necessary data and data-transform functions in order to access and adress the main functions in the bottom frame. 2) with the options-button most drawing parameters are costomizable, more of the to come. there's a netscape-bug with forms and css in windows created by script. i found no way to make the form executable, so there's no css for this window in NN. 3) colorinterpolation for colorsteps is now done by script, and no more taken from a list. (still beta) 4) other improvements: makeLisibleNumbers() now operates errorless. showDetailData() works input-length-independent. colorLand() begins to work... 5) data-output window now with sort-function for the data columns link: https://www.carto.net/papers/svg/eu/old/0.5.0/index.html v0.5.1 Data-output window accelerated. (different reasons: IE+NN: memory-Array was empty after function done without full DOM-name, NN: rewrite into the open window took 15 sec (!) without rewrite first an empty content ...) link: https://www.carto.net/papers/svg/eu/0.5.1/index.html v0.5.4 new text-layout not all functions tested yet (20000927CET2118) link: https://www.carto.net/papers/svg/eu/0.5.4/index.html v0.5.4b test by mouseover: duplicating the concerned element as opacity=0 into top layer and mouseout on this temporary object, no blinking by passing over rivers or names. only workinh theoreticaly because onmouseout is too slow on caching its own event... link: https://www.carto.net/papers/svg/eu/0.5.4b/index.html v0.5.5 better mouseover functionality link: https://www.carto.net/papers/svg/eu/old/0.5.5/index.html v0.5.5a extended comments in files (but same version as 0.5.5) link: https://www.carto.net/papers/svg/eu/index.html next steps: - cartography: legend - cartography: connection to the county-polygons (cartograms) - graphics rendering: scale of the diagrams is done after rendering. outlines would be resized as well. this operation should take place on the data, not on the graphics - data visualisation improvements: save-as-csv - data visualisation improvements: metadata about the data shown in the tables - data visualisation improvements: values to compare (main, sums, ...)
