Leon asked about the future for Fred? Heather replied it's actually looking better now that we know we can upgrade to later versions of Ruby. Previously we thought we were stuck at Ruby 0.8.2 - but that is no longer the case.
We agreed that the next step is trying to work out the trivial issues, and then find someone to dive into the others.
- Next event speed issues
- Provide text box to input run id / event id to load random events
- Provide text box and interface to FluxSvc as Fred does to modify source used for simulation
- Provide point coordinates as the old old GUI does
- Should be possible at least for standard views
- Provide link to updated Wired that Tracy is now using and info concerning missing plug-in that had to be installed
- Includes instance tree - but that still needs to be populated for Gleam?
- Provide reasonable way to fire up Wired from Gleam using appropriate JO settings
- Allow replay of events
- Turn off assumption that network is required to read in events
- Update wired to allow input ior file
- Update workbook to explain Wired usage
- From Elliott:
run through an Run# Event# file and produce a jeg for each event with the views selected (e.g., one jpeg with x-y, x-z, y-z views). One should also be able to setup the detail of what detector elements would appear.
...
- Provide support for input ROOT relation files
- This should already be done - at least in the v17 series of GR if not earlier
- Handle switching from MC to real Data within the same Gleam session, where the types of input ROOT files will change
- Also should be complete
- Interface for input merit file
List of Wired Concerns from Tracy July 13, 2010 - here for reference
1) It is very very slow
2) It does not support random event access from the controls on the interface
3) The interface for displaying properties of objects is somewhat cumbersome, also not clear how to associated objects
4) Myriad annoyances, e.g. it doesn't seem to ever remember the last folder I visited for opening the hepeventserver.ior file to connect to Gleam.
5) ... unfortunately, a few items I managed to forget before going back to Fred.
I think speed is a show stopper for me.
Also, I don't understand how we simpletons can find and play with the plugins for Fermi ehancements?
