Aravind Parappil commented on AIRAVATA-3007:
--------------------------------------------
[~marcuschristie] – Very interesting. You mentioned a declarative configuration
approach for the admin users to specify graphing options per output file. Are
you suggesting that the admin users specify them in, say, a JSON with
pre-defined fields and then pass it along to the Django code? Something like:
{code:java}
{
"xAxisTitle": "Time (ms)",
"yAxisTitle": "Magnitude",
"columnsReq": ["col2","col1","col8"],
"chartType": "scatter",
......
}
{code}
Is it viable for us to create a UI form that takes this data while an admin
user registers a new application? (Instead of asking the admin to provide a
JSON, perhaps keep drop-downs, check-boxes etc. that will gather the same
data?) Or is the application registration interface not within our control?
There is a high possibility that I am completely off target here, so please
feel free to ignore!

> Project: Airavata
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Django Portal
> Reporter: Marcus Christie
> Priority: Major
> Labels: gsoc2019
>
> Add general plotting capabilities of computational experiment outputs to the
> Airavata Django Portal [1]. Portal admins that register an application should
> be able to specify what kind of visualizations should be provided to users
> for each file using a declarative configuration. Code should not be required
> for simple charts, but for more complex use cases it should be possible to
> provide Python code needed to support it.
> As an example, let's say there is an application that generates a CSV file
> with time series data. The admin user who is registering the application
> knows what sort of plotting is desired, which columns of data are needed from
> the CSV file, etc. The admin user should be able to provide some JSON
> configuration that describe how to generate the plot. The Django Portal can
> then use this JSON configuration to process the CSV file and provide the data
> and configuration to a frontend UI component (implemented in Vue.js) that
> will then render the desired chart. The charting technology should allow
> some interactive features so that users can explore the data easily.
> Some charting libraries that look particularly interesting:
> * https://plot.ly/javascript/
> * http://echarts.apache.org/
