The results of the "combat" use of the program. about alphaplot

[narunlifescience]

Well, thank you for the points. Some of your points will be addressed in next release.

Backend

• I remember fixing some of the fitting related issues. can you give me a sample data where you are facing such an issue ? I will have a look.
• Gaussian peak fitting case is also similar to above mentioned. Is this issue specific to AlphaPlot or also present in SciDavis ? give me a sample data to reproduce the issue.
• polar charts will be available once qcustomplot library releases its next version with better support for polar plots.

Frontend

• Regarding points of approximation, kindly provide me a sample data and also the desired output that you expect.
• I made the log quite readable with a change which may not reflect in current release but will be there in the next release. check the screenshot in this commit. Is this what you are talking about ?
• Hotkeys needs to be fixed. I will make a note of that.

GUI inconvenience

• The layout of widgets seems to be proper. I am unable to reproduce this issue (using arch linux).
• settings window was broken beyond repair previously. So I came up with this after having a look at mac osx & kde plasma system settings. After completion of some more modifications, settings window will be switchable from its current form to a tree layout similar to what you have in kde plasma settings.
• chart settings are yet to be worked. I am not clear with the layer duplication issue that you are pointing to. please elaborate..
• please give me an example for the same with the desired output you expect.
• Column stretch issue will be fixed in next release.

Wishes

• eventually Alphaplot may have to move from mdi to tabbed view but not any time soon. There are so many things on my plate at the moment.
• Sadly XML is the best format for project files. A more human readable file format is far less error check friendly. Also we don't want anyone to open project files in text mode and edit the contents. But it is also quite possible to extract data from the xml file with a little bit of effort if you so desire. There is also an option to export table7matrix as csv. so I feel that is enough.
• regarding better vertical integration, I will consider it. if you have a layout in mind feel free to share.

At the moment my first priority is to maintain and improve up on 2D graphing glitches. Along with that the property editor needs a back-end change which is the most critical one.

Sadly open source projects have few contributors. So at the moment we don't have a team to work on this. You are welcome to join if you have the time.

Thanks for the feedback.

This close to simple sinus.
sin.csv

You should find 4 peaks here:

• 1.87 eV
• 1.984 eV
• 2.1088 eV
• 2.036 eV

gauss.csv
This is the transmission spectrum of some substance that we studied in our laboratory.

The result should be similar to this, this is also a substance but with slightly different parameters.

Regarding points of approximation, kindly provide me a sample data and also the desired output that you expect.

Hm. I meant that there is no table with the results of the approximation, and I have to take them from the log. And I do not want to take them from the log, I want a separate dryness. You need a separate window where it would be displayed, both the points themselves and the coefficients.

Desired view of the project exploer.

Regarding the xml format.

It looks like you are really right, he leaves no alternatives. But I still do not agree that an ordinary person cannot read a file, a project, simply with a text or spreadsheet editor. That's why I wrote about the archive containing csv + ini. Some data analysis programs actually do this, though without an archive, just a text file.

thank you for the inputs. I will have a look at it soon..
