• Add measurement units to colorbars – #27
• Fix signal magnitudes in colorbars – #36
• Gracefully handle the case that dipole is placed outside of the brain (currently raises an exception) – solved in #38 as long as no "exact" solution is requested
• Gracefully handle the case that dipole is placed outside of the brain for exact calculations
• S P E E D 🐢
• Allow users to adjust dipole amplitude – #37
• Refactor code to remove duplications and weird mix of functional and OOP
• Add reset button – #42
• Improve layout
• Better help & quickstart guide
• Support multiple dipoles, or at least add a mirroring option
• Display predicted planar gradiometer fields in both orientations (as well as the RMS) (suggested by LHuntNeuro)

Hi @hoechenberger @agramfort

This is really nice.
My two cents on how this could evolve:

• the 3d representation of the dipole looks fancy, but isn't super easy to figure out where the dipole actually is. Have you thought of using a glassbrain type of display?
• Sliders are also not really intuitive to move the dipole
• Alex already told me you are trying to improve speed. Indeed, that's crucial :)

Below is a screenshot of what I did in matlab, tweaking FT functions. Interaction is done via clicking in one of the three brain panels. Left button sets the position of the dipole, right button sets its orientation (the tip of the arrow).
A convenient way to speeding things up would also be to have an "update" button, so that I can use a few clicks to set the position and orientation, then draw, when I'm done.
