narrative-developer Mailing List for Narrative -- Cocoa Plotting Framework

Dear Open Source developer

I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate.
You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it.

With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development.


With many thanks for your participation,
Benno Luthiger


PS:
The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/.
We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list.

Hi! (I guess this is going to Drew, correct?)

I am attempting to incorporate Narrative plots into an NSTableView. It 
is intended that the user be able to resize the cells. Before I get too 
embroiled in calculating sizes and how to distribute objects in the 
plot area, let me ask this: Is there an easy path to rescale the entire 
plot (including annotations) to fit within a given bounding rectangle?

Thanks!

Randy

Discussion after watching Disney's "Lilo & Stitch":

DAD: "But why did the space aliens speak English, as opposed to French, 
or Swahili? And why did the one alien speak English with an Eastern 
European accent? I don't get it."

Hi,

I have been waiting for someone to release a Cocoa plotting framework.
Thanks.  I am just starting to try and use the Narrative framework and
have a question.

In the example.app one finds

-(unsigned)numberOfDataClustersForPlot:(NRTPlot *)plot {
     unsigned num = 0;

     if ( [[plot identifier] isEqual:@"ChartLinePlot"] ) {
         num = 10;
     }
     else if ( [[plot identifier] isEqual:@"ChartHistogramPlot"] ) {
         num = 30;
     }

     return num;
}

Now, this suggests to me that the Chart data has 10 points and the 
Histogram
data has 30 points.  However, when the plots are made, only 10 points 
from
each data set is made.  Is this intentional?  If so, how does one plot 
two
data sets with different numbers of points?

Thanks
Scott
