New Business

• where to announce new tools ?
• ShapeViewer
  • features : enable client to change polling interval after connection
  • changes : disable "start server" menu after server is started.

Discussed

• ShapeViwer
  • how to meet needs of shape viewer servers and clients to identify shapes
  • how to uniquely identify shapes that are loaded in clients and servers.
• Reasearch/User needs:
  • find path between two selected locations (in a shape).
  • be able to label subsections of a displayed surface
• technical writer postion & requirements.

Decisions

• defer colorizing of vector valued attributes in ShapeViewer

To do for Next meeting

• [ ] Ivo - list of analysis script writers for various groups to Craig.
• [ ] Craig - add "vector to color map" utility to shape library wish list.
• [ ] Craig - add to wish list: "find path connecting two locations".
• [ ] Craig - integrate ShapeCurvature
• [ ] Craig - complete documentation on twiki of ShapeTools changes.
• [ ] Craig - add a way to uniquely identify a Shape to the library.
• [ ] Craig - Complete all packaging and documentation of Extract4DUcfAttributes.
• [ ] Craig - Complete all packaging and documentation of ShapeTransform.
• [ ] Craig - Complete all packaging and documentation of ShapeToDX.
• [ ] Craig - Write twiki documentation of OpenDXJavaLibrary.
• [ ] Craig - Evaluate Pipeline twiki organization w/respect to end user supportiveness.
• [ ] Craig - Write example of using rmi calls to control a shape viewer.
• [ ] Craig - port FKU c code, estimate time to port to ShapeTools.

• [ ] Jeff - fix the problem with loading many shapes (array index exception).
• [ ] Jeff - revise internal shape ID representation.
• [ ] Jeff - write and distribute to group a plan to test the ShapeViewer
• [ ] BaeCheol - determine if the face set's getFaceVertices() method has bugs for edge polygons.

• [ ] BaeCheol - complete ShapeCurvature manual
• [ ] BaeCheol - review & complete test of ShapeCurvature appl.
• [ ] Duygu - investigate dependency and portability of her code that finds the path between two locations, and if this method will work with an unconnected surface.
