Make "A Personal Hyperwall" #46
Comments
Thanks very much for your interest in working on one of these projects.
You offered to help with 3 projects. How about you pick one of them, let me
know which, and focus on it first?
I'll point out that the Hyperwall project is mostly JavaScript, while the
others are mostly Java. Your choice.
Best wishes.

Hey! I would like to work on this. I am a beginner, but I'm willing to
learn on the way

I'll focus on this one |
seems interesting, so its going to act as a client which fetches data and displays it in a nice way? |
So it displays graphs of various properties , all from the same location and same time? (silly doubt, but I'm trying to clarify ) |
Yes (to your first two questions above). It may help to read these instructions to "Embed a Graph in a Web Page": See also this static version that is close to the simple version of what you are going for |
Make a customizable web page that displays nColumns by nRows of boxes, each box gets a different ERDDAP map (or graph?), each of which can refer to some common values (e.g., latitude min/max, longitude min/max, time value) so that when any of the common values are changed, the maps and graphs are redrawn.
For example, imagine 6 (2 x 3) maps with sea surface temperature, chlorophyll, salinity, wind vectors, atmospheric pressure, current vectors.
Or image a map of an area with sea surface temperature, and a graph with sea surface temperature from 1 point on the map (you click on the map and the graph changes) [okay, that one would be super hard on ERDDAP because of the nature of how gridded data is usually stored].
The basic idea (if just maps with limited settings) is pretty simple. There is certainly lots of potential for making this fancy with lots of features:
Perhaps each graph has a dropdown box for datasetID and for variableName (the options change when datasetID changes).
Perhaps each box can be toggled between the map (or graph) and a form with settings specific to that map/graph (including all the colorBar settings).
Here's your chance to be creative and show off your JavaScript skills (while still minimizing the load on ERDDAP).
This ideal is from a poster (a finding request?) at an ESIP meeting by Matt Tisdale (NASA Langley) entitled "A Personal Hyperwall". He said I could use the idea. When you get a rough draft of this web page working, perhaps you could ask people (including Matt) for comments/suggestions/requests.
Skills required: 10% Java. 90% JavaScript.
Difficulty: Easy to hard. It's what you make of it and whether the techniques you use are simple or fancy. This could be done in 1 day (if it is a really simple setup) or a month (if it is fancy and you get and incorporate feedback from the community).
