Weekly Check-In #5

What did you do this week?

fury-gl/fury PR#437: WebRTC streaming system for FURY

• Before the 8c670c2 commit, for some versions of MacOs the streaming system was falling in a silent bug. I’ve spent a lot of time researching to found a cause for this. Fortunately, I could found the cause and the solution. This troublesome MacOs was falling in a silent bug because the SharedMemory Object was creating a memory resource with at least 4086 bytes indepedent if I’ve requested less than that. If we look into the MultiDimensionalBuffer Object (stream/tools.py) before the 8c670c2 commit we can see that Object has max_size parameter which needs to be updated if the SharedMemory was created with a “wrong” size.

fury-gl/helios PR 1: Network Layout and SuperActors

In the past week I’ve made a lot of improvements in this PR, from performance improvements to visual effects. Bellow are the list of the tasks related with this PR:

• • Code refactoring.

• • Visual improvements: Using the UniformTools from my pull request

  #424 now is possible to control all the visual characteristics at runtime.

• • 2D Layout: Meanwhile 3d network representations are very usefully

  for exploring a dataset is hard to convice a group of network scientists to use a visualization system which dosen’t allow 2d representations. Because of that I started to coding the 2d behavior in the network visualization system.

• • Minimum Distortion Embeddings examples: I’ve created some examples

  which shows how integrate pymde (Python Minimum Distortion Embeddings) with fury/helios. The image below shows the result of this integration: a “perfect” graph embedding

What is coming up next week?

I’ll probably focus on the heliosPR#1. Specifically, writing tests and improving the minimum distortion embedding layout.

Did you get stuck anywhere?

I did not get stuck this week.
