Topics for Discussion

• ViewModel

  • Daniel's pluggable renderers
    • Questions for Daniel:
      1. What are the possible memory costs for having pluggable renderers (not detailed -- approximate)?
      2. What are the performance implications?
      3. How do we serialize these?

    • My (DanielAbel) notes are at DanielAbel/PluggableRenderers which discusses these issues a bit.

• Begin Presentation API
  • UI Events and how they interact with Cytoscape Events
• Work Layer (Command, Tunables)

Goal

• Finish the ViewModel

Pre-meeting Comments

• Should vizmapper and editor be covered at this meeting or is this for a later meeting?
