Need for more basic functions in module html about climaf

[jservonnat]

Suggestions for the form of html_table_line from the user side (with p1, p2, px being climaf objects of type figure):

• html_table_line( { 'My figure p1' : p1, 'My figure p2' : p2, 'My figure px' : px})
  Then html_table_line would loop on the elements of the dictionary. The facets will be used as titles and the values are the plots.
  Or:
• html_table_line( plots=[p1, p2, px], titles=[ 'My figure p1', 'My figure p2', 'My figure px' ] )

The first form is more compact and pretty logical in a way. The second form is more basic, maybe more readable. Please give your comments!

I would vote for first form. This would lead to rename the present function html_table_line to something like 'html_table_line_with_func' (because it is calling some function iteratively for computing figures).
Alos : the new html_table_line should allow for a 'thumbnail' argument, in which case the dict argument could be a list (because titles would be replaced by thumbnail images)

Form 1 suggested by Jerome sounds the best to me too.

But I would keep "html rendering" and "plot creation" as separated operations. Thus, I would advocate in favor of removing plot creation step (call to a function) from html_table_lines.

Intuitively user comptes his diags, creates associated plot objects first and call for an html rendering in a second step. Moreover he may want to draw different types of plot (time serie, map, slice) on a same line that would not be possible with a "create_plot" function embedded within html_tables_lines (or this woud require to pass an additionnal dictionary in arguments with the list of plot types).

Agree. Suggestions implemented in V0.10
