Re: [thredds] ncwms customisation from TDS source..

Hi Marcos,

i agree that it should be disabled by default in order to allow upgrades to 
happen without it affecting the output. also, we have also discovered a bug 
whereby for certain situations the scaling is not correctly applied, although i 
have not yet looked into why, so i would recommend against anyone using the 
branch for anything serious until it has been better developed / tested.

i'll have a look next week, hopefully i'll be able to use github properly 
following the tips given by Kyle regarding line endings.

Hi Ivan,
we have applied the patch and created a new branch in our ncWMS repository with 
it:
https://github.com/Unidata/ncWMS/tree/vector_scale_feature
The only issue we found is it would change the current behaviour of the vector 
styles and sometimes the scale factor and the vectorStep used might not be 
suitable for some data and the arrows could overlap too much and the images 
look very scattered.
It would be great if it keeps the current behaviour as default (so current 
clients would not notice the difference) and then use the vectorScale and 
vectorStep parameters with appropriate values for each case for scaling the 
vectors.

Cheers!

Hi Ethan,



i attach a patch, i hope it works as planned. it was made from the root of my 
git repo agains the modified code (ncWMS-master) and the unmodified (ncWMS) 
repo. it modifies 3 files.



it's a shame not to be able to use github, if someone ever manages to do a 
fork/pull request from windows (i'm using the 'github for windows' client btw) 
without all files being marked as modified i'd be interested to hear how it was 
done.

Hi Ivan,



Lets try a patch file (if its not too much trouble).



We have Windows, Linux, and OSX developers here and have never run into EOL 
problems. (Although I do occasionally see a message from IntelliJ about EOL 
differences, they never show up in git.) I don't set and I'm not aware of 
anyone here setting any git attibutes.



Thanks,



Ethan

Hi there,



i did a pull request in github, i'm not sure if you can use it from

there.



the fork is here: https://github.com/ivanprice/ncWMS



I only modified 3 files but sadly it is marking everything as

modified, I think because it has converted all the EOL to windows

format (i am on windows).



if a patch would be easier then i can send a patch, i'm surprised the

EOLs are not handled better, but it's probably my misuse causing the

problem. btw i followed the instructions regarding the recommended

.gitattributes file: # Auto detect text files and perform LF

normalization * text=auto



have a good weekend,

Hi Ivan,



Yes, we would be happy to fold your changes into the TDS. If you want to go the 
git route, feel free to make a pull request on gitHub or point us to a publicly 
available git repo. Another option is to send us a patch file. Whatever works 
for you.



We'll touch base with the ncWMS folks as well to see about folding this into 
the main ncWMS code base.



Thanks,



Ethan

Thanks Ethan and Kyle for your assistance on this.



thanks to the fact that the build processes for both TDS and its

NCWMS were so well packaged and prepared, we have had success in

making our (quite minor) changes. The result is vector maps like the

one attached.



we make use of the pre-existing vectorScale WMS parameter, and added

a new one: vectorStep. the vectorScale affects the size of the

symbols, the vectorStep affects the distance between them.  We wanted

the ability to control these separately. The ideal would be for all

this to be used optionally, in our case it is 'always on'.



also, we could not get antialiasing working correctly, there is

definite room for improvement there.



we'd be happy to share the changes we made in the interest of having

them included in the main TDS,  if this is interesting please let me

know the best way to do so (btw i'm a git newbie).



thanks again and regards

Hi Ivan,



The Ant buildTds.xml file is deprecated in favor of the Maven pom.xml file. We 
no longer maintain the Ant TDS build script.

You can find the ncWMS code that THREDDS is using here:

https://github.com/Unidata/ncWMS







Specifically, vectors are created here:

https://github.com/Unidata/ncWMS/blob/master/src/java/uk/ac/rdg/resc

/

n

cwms/graphics/ImageProducer.java#L185







And the classes that actually do the drawing:



https://github.com/Unidata/ncWMS/blob/master/src/java/uk/ac/rdg/resc

/

n

cwms/graphics/VectorFactory.java



https://github.com/Unidata/ncWMS/blob/master/src/java/uk/ac/rdg/resc

/

n

cwms/graphics/BarbFactory.java







In your case, you would need to apply an scale transform on the

drawn object based on magnitude.











For building NcWMS for TDS, there is an ANT script here:

https://github.com/Unidata/ncWMS/blob/master/buildTds.xml with a

target of "buildNcwmsJar".

Hi Kyle, thanks for getting back to me..







I'm sorry i think i wasn't clear..  i'm aware there are 'new' vector

styles in the current TDS, fancyvec, windbarb etc.. (these are

excellent and we use them already).. what I would like to do is add

a scaling notion to them.. so the arrows can indicate direction as

well as magnitude, and not just through colour but with their size..

as per a traditional 'quiver' plot.. e.g.:



http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/quiver_demo.html







for this i'm expecting to find where the arrow is created and scale

it, and include that modified version of ncwms in our thredds WAR file.







apologies if i misunderstood your email or am on the wrong track here..

RE: ncwms customisation

from TDS source..







Hi Ivan -







The new vector styles are already available in the newest TDS.







I've attached an image showing the vector style options.  In

addition to the attached, there is also the "barb" style.







Here is an example:

http://64.9.200.113:8080/thredds/catalog/glos/glcfs/ontario/fcfmrc-3

d

/

catalog.html?dataset=glos/glcfs/ontario/fcfmrc-3d/Lake_Ontario_-_3D_

b

e

st.ncd







If you take a look at the WMS service, the new vector styles are advertised .







Hope this helps,



Kyle

Hi there,







I would like to bite the bullet and have a shot at building a new

vector style in the ncwms inside TDS capable of presenting

magnitude, for example scaling the currently existing 'stumpvec'

style to show wind/current strength etc.







i've downloaded the source from github and can build the WAR, and am

now in the process of finding where the relevant code to modify is.







from what i can see the ncwms component is not built when you build

TDS, it seems the file ncwms-1.0.tds.4.3.20130116.1130.jar is

downloaded during the build process and used directly.







At the risk of asking a very basic question, how do i go about

building a new (compiled) ncwms.jar, compatible with the built TDS WAR file ?







and secondly, i have searched for where the 'new' vector styles are

defined ('fancyvec', 'stumpvec' etc).. but i cannot find them.  I

have found the original vector style drawing code here:



\thredds-master\lib\release\source\ncwms\uk\ac\rdg\resc\ncwms\graphi

c

s

\ImageProducer.java



but not the new arrow styles.







any help with those two points would be much appreciated,







thanks,







-ivan
