Re: Call for LiveCode projects: LiveCode and Science at MozFest this weekend.
I do not know if this contribution applies here, but i see a need for a project about 2D and 3D text rendering. At least rendering text is something useful for a LiveCode project, in my point of view. Then what about drawing interactive relationship graphs for database application development defining database objects which will also be defining the databases inserting a middle layer, and at the same time in Livecode such database application could become live, using different themes and styles, allowing to enter data and using data browsing immediately? Then there is a business need to draw items interactively based on sizes and other attributes in vector formats, to store and display them. I would be very much interested in unlocking and accessing all kinds of APIs, such as Google, Gmail, or Skype, Viber, or Facebook, etc. >From a general user point of view: What about a Unified MyData Tool where all communication is hooked to one central place bringing together all my activities, all my mail, all my tasks and all my events under one roof?

Re: Call for LiveCode projects: LiveCode and Science at MozFest this weekend.
The focus is on a general purpose framework for modeling many orthogonal dimensions of information using entities and relationships. When the model is built correctly the information in it can be queried to produce many useful things, a subset of which are visuals like business/network graphs. But for my goal I won't have a use for business graphs any time soon, so the stuff I'm writing to display graph data is just networks. Livecode makes it relatively easy to draw stuff on the screen, so one of the things I'd like to give back to the community is a standardized interface for pushing graph data into a control and getting back queries for new data. I'm a new, self-taught coder and I didn't have all that much trouble implementing an array with graph data and several algorithms for processing it. Therefore I conclude that it should be pretty straight forward to implement all of the common expectations of a graphing library in Livecode. Whether or not it is memory efficient and/or scales at all well is a different question :) On Tue, Nov 3, 2015 at 9:00 AM, David Bovill wrote: > That sounds like a great topic for a small research group.

Re: Call for LiveCode projects: LiveCode and Science at MozFest this weekend.
That sounds like a great topic for a small research group. I'd certainly join in. Do you mean business graphs, or general network graphs?

Re: Call for LiveCode projects: LiveCode and Science at MozFest this weekend.
I'm building an open source graph manipulation and drawing library in Livecode. The point is for it to be modular but I'm building it to do a specific thing right now, so it isn't all that modular. It's still young so there's plenty of room for new ideas. I could use help in the more official "graph" areas since I don't have any particular background in graphs, they just turned out to be useful for my goals. For example, I'd like to find out if it makes sense to store the graphs in a graph database (ATM I'm just exporting the array to JSON text files). It would also be nice to find out if an existing graph description language will work or if I have to define my own. And, of course, there's the fun of trying to optimize the algorithms to allow more nodes into memory. Maybe someone knows how to just use an existing graph library from Livecode? Also, I'm planning to make a widget for displaying the graphs but I haven't learned LCB yet. Someone who already knows LCB could speed that up.
