A periodic table for Sugar

Periodic-table

A periodic table activity for Sugar that contains information about the elements in the periodic table, it also included recently added elements by IUPAC -- nihonium, moscovium, tennessine, and oganesson --.

Using Periodic-table

Clicking on an element leads to more information about that element.

If you know the first few letters of an element and you don't know the rest, the search bar makes finding that element easy.

Dependencies

Debian like distros
Please make sure you have installed,

• gir1.2-evince-3.0

periodic-table's Issues

Addition of new features and maintenance of old code and pdfs

@quozl I was thinking of improving and adding some new features to this activity:

• Improve the over-all structure of the activity.
• Option to check the graphical atomic structure of the element on right click.
• Improve the data present on PDFs.
• Make the PDFs more attractive by changing some font-styles and and size.
• Add Help Page to activity.

Port to Python 3.

Potentially out of date

The most recent discoveries do not appear to have been integrated; based on the date of last change to the table upstream and the commits to the code here in Sugar Labs. Needs careful checking. A script to do the check may be in the repository already, I've not checked.

Not Optimized for 16:9 ratio display

@quozl I would like to work on this issue.

I just tried this activity on 16:9 (1366 x 768) resolution display.
It's not quite optimized to this ratio.

• Optimize the display

Cannot proxy the given URL

There are image links in README.md, these images are not showing up and ends with "Cannot proxy the given URL" message.

Optimised for 1200x900 display

The activity is optimised for a specific display resolution. It should be tested on other resolutions and improved, perhaps by resizing the table cells.

debian/ubuntu like dependencies as periodic-table fails to start

Hi!
I'm working on trisquel-sugar 10.0 based on ubuntu 20.04, I'm fairly new to still we are backporting sugar from impish, so we have the latest fixes available.

I'm having a small issue with this activity, is there some recommended debian dependencies that should be fulfilled, some other 45 activities are working fine, so I guess most should be there.

Or maybe it's something else, but I don't see any specific log or error that I can share.

Any advice is very welcome.

Several issues on review

I've reviewed the activity.

• activity.info does not have license, it is GPLv3+ for the source code,
• the files in data directory are from Wikipedia Foundation and are Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, yet there is no attribution or license included in this repository,
• README.md links to screenshots are no longer valid; they should be either in Help Activity or in this repository,
• a method is needed for updating the files in data directory, as many have since changed on Wikipedia.
