ZoomCharts at DevClub.lv: Developing a Javascript SDK

 

On January 15, 2015, ZoomCharts Co-Founder and CTO Viesturs Zariņš presented at DevClub.lv - a community of Latvian IT specialists that gather monthly and host free talks, presentations, and events to allow the local IT community to share knowledge, network, and communicate. Zariņš discussed the unique challenges faced in developing JavaScript SDK.

 

Here is a brief overview of his PowerPoint presentation on ZoomCharts, the world’s most interactive data visualization software that will support all your data presentation needs with incredible speed.

 

What is ZoomCharts?

 

What defines ZoomCharts advanced data visualization software? It is NOT another HTML5 charts library. It is:

 

- Interactive

- Fast

- Touch enabled

- Supports big data

 

A long time ago

 

DOS 6.2 allowed for:

 

- 320x240x8bpp

- Direct access to pixels on screen

- Assembler for performance

 

Today, the Web has finally caught up in the graphics department. Now, we have access to:

 

- Multiple browsers and rendering technologies

- Multiple resolutions

- Performance that varies by browser and device

 

Development setup:

 

- We write in JavaScript

- Commit to GitHub

- Build system in JavaScript

- Debug in Chrome

- Run automated tests

- Like WebStorm (and Vim)

 

Graphics:

 

Canvas (fast)

SVG (slow)

WebGL (>50%)

 

Interactive animations:

 

Zoom in and out of the graph, drag and drop data, all with your mouse or trackpad.

 

Graceful degradation:

 

High FPS (frames per second) lets you scale graphics with low image degradation.

 

Third party libraries:

 

- Raphael

- Hammer.js

- Leaflet

- Moment.js

 

Challenges:

 

- Responsive design: layouts can shift and look nice on desktop screens vs. not so nice on vertical, mobile screens

- Big screen resolutions: uses devicePixelRatio for sharp rendering, but no hardware acceleration beyond 2048x2048

- Safari compatibility: with 100% CPU, input events are blocked and browser locks up; strange code offers fixes

- HTML on canvas: DOM is slow; basic HTML markup must be parsed and rendered manually; text caching helps

 

Support:

 

- Process: TrialSupportBuy

- 1 day issue resolution

- #1 Tell me what I did wrong

- #2 Can you do…

 

Testing:

 

- Automated tests on every GIT push

 

Automatically:

 

- Compare images

- Record performance

- View errors in console

 

Interactive testing:

 

- Next step: record and playback

 

BrowserStack:

 

- Interactive mode

- Automated: Selenium API

 

Debugging:

 

Chrome Developer tools (F12)

 

- Debugging

- Profiling

- Timeline

 

Remote debugging available: developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging

 

Future:

 

- More charts

- Extension API

- Memory allocation tracking

- WebGL

 

We are looking for statically-typed language:

 

- Error checking

- Performance

- Superior minification

 

- Easy to write and read

- Easy to call from JS

 

Building

 

Custom build script:

 

- Compile

- Minify

- Extract documentation

- Embed customer data

I'm trying to come up with a good way to filter the results from a grid of points that you calculate Optical Flow on.

 

The results from a point go a bit crazy when there is not a good feature to track (empty space, no detail and just some camera noise) and gives odd results, so you need to filter out the stuff you don't want from the stuff you want.

 

(Finding good features to track seems to be pretty slow (finding corners and the like) so it's not something you want to do every frame, but this is worth looking into again.)

 

Previously I was trying to do this by comparing the points position against a motion image, the idea being that if something is moving, I'm probably interested in it. But of course that relies on getting a good motion image to use, which can be a bit hard under the best of conditions (if a crowd is in front of the camera for instance), under low light conditions it gets even harder, while optical flow actually still works rather well.

 

Here I'm trying to do it by comparing the direction vectors with the neighbouring ones and turning off points that don't have a lot of similar neighbours.

 

Simple stuff really, but it wasn't working very well when I tried it the last time, so here I've resorted to drawing the number of similar neighbours and the angle of the vector, taking a screenshot and having a look in Photoshop.

 

Good sanity check, but I should have spent more time looking at the code as it was a pretty dumb indexing error in the end.

 

Update: This method worked really well in end, relatively dark environment and it stayed responsive. One problem is that if you move too fast it won't really do what you want, but people seemed to catch on easily enough, they were not the usual demographic (young people who could even take a fair stab at what algorithms the piece might be using) so that's encouraging. Not sure if it has to do with blur or what, perhaps running at 60 fps would help, but I didn't have a camera that could do it at hand.

Challenge: Develop an easily adjustable PLC programming and debugging system for existing contact lens packaging assembly line.

 

IAS Corp. Solution:

 

An Aerospace company contracted IAS Corp. to provide PLC (programmable logic controllers) programming for an assembly line that they had built. Their operation packaged contact lenses by moving the packaging into place and injecting it with saline solution. A worker then inserted a lens before packaging was moved down the line, covered and heat sealed with foil, and inspected by a vision system for defects. IAS Corp. developed the programming that tracks the work completed, records any defects, and aids production monitoring and trending. This custom program also features adjustable parameters to assist with changeovers and product variations.

Now thats a great idea. Problem solving whilst in the loo. The ones in the cubicles weren't different though... Thought they may have been a bit trickier :o)

Sentado aqui, paso 8 horas diarias. En realidad un poco meno s de 8, ya que rara vez paso más de 1 hora sin levantarme a hacer algo.

i can't figure this shit out -- i've been getting this error message for the past month or so... incredibly annoying & i can't figure out what's causing it. every time i do a browser action that opens a new window or popup, i get this alert from *something*.

 

*** Q: anyone have a clue? ***

 

it happens on both mac & PC, in both Firefox & Safari (not sure about IE but i think so). guessing it's some toolbar or extension i have loaded, but so far haven't been able to disable / isolate to determine which one.

 

nothing turned up googling for keywords above, so i'm appealing to the lazy web for a solution -- perhaps this screen capture & blog post will serve to help others who also suffer from my ignorance.

It's not fuzzy, it'd detailed. Download the original size and take a look.

De:Bug issue 128 www.de-bug.de/mag/5986.html

These gestures are generated by a software program, creating a sort of idealized and synthetic paint. This set shows the splines and curve interpolation used to generate the forms.

Haven't tracked down the cause of this perimeter retraction issue while printing with the latest PLA. Documenting it here for the moment.

 

Strange how it seems to be Z-height dependent.

 

Update: Turns out this was caused by a sticky filament spool.

Next >>> ... Bugs in using Cheetah templates

 

form.py works

Finally got the form code to work. It turns out the style sheet was altering the examples so they rendered but not in any visible way.

 

The only way I could get to here through experimenting:

 

*Comment out the style sheet one by one.

*I deduced it was the style sheet by view source of the previous example & hand modifying the html

*Saving as html & testing if it would render.

*The code still needs tidy

-use a python module that calls tidy on Form.Render() method

*Examples with styles should at least work

-style sheet supplied didn't work

-have to try my own.

  

The full source code is here. The next challenge is databases & redirects so I can build an application :)
