DevNotes_06Feb2026_Technical

• Refactoring Project (Paul S./Marie/Jeff/Piotr/Lucas/Adam)
  • Hackathon
    • Best dates: Fri Mar 13, Mon Mar 16, and Tues Mar 17
    • Planning day on Friday and two working days on Mon and Tues
    • Project status meeting (this meeting!)
  • Goals:
    • Use sample meta data for something useful!
    • Parameterized data sets (plots as a function of temperature, etc)
    • Simple to represent data across parameter space
    • Abstract the data object
    • Combine plots in a meaningful way
    • Analyze groups of data as a single object
    • Create those data groups quickly
  • Refactor roadmap
  • Active branches:
    • SasData
      • Main refactoring branch: https://github.com/SasView/sasdata/tree/refactor_24
      • SasData refactor API: https://github.com/SasView/sasdata/tree/sasview-database
    • SasView
      • Main refactoring branch: https://github.com/SasView/sasview/tree/refactor_24
      • HDF5 file viewer: https://github.com/SasView/sasview/tree/3011-hd5-file-viewer
      • Plotting refactor (base): https://github.com/SasView/sasview/tree/plotting_refactor_tabs
      • Plotting refactor (integration): https://github.com/SasView/sasview/tree/plotting_refactor_integration
      • Plotting refactor (subplots): https://github.com/SasView/sasview/tree/plotting_refactor_integration_add_plotwidget_as_subwindow
      • Plotting refactor (perspective plots): https://github.com/SasView/sasview/tree/plotting_refactor_integration_add_fixedTabs
      • Data Explorer: https://github.com/SasView/sasview/tree/refactor24-data-explorer
      • Fixes to data explorer: https://github.com/SasView/sasview/tree/refactor24-data-explorer-fixes
  • Recent work:
    • Refactor join tests: https://github.com/SasView/sasdata/pull/165
    • ND Rebinner: https://github.com/SasView/sasdata/pull/178
    • 3D data support: https://github.com/SasView/sasdata/pull/181
    • Quantity name: https://github.com/SasView/sasdata/pull/183
    • Data operations: https://github.com/SasView/sasdata/pull/184
  • What's left to do:
    • Finish data loader port (red2d_reader, abs_reader, saxs_reader, sesans_reader)
    • Finish operations
    • Finish rebinning
    • Apply to slicers (might need a larger refactor here)
    • Finish trends and interpolations
    • Data explorer data representations
    • Data explorer linking gui to data
    • Data explorer trend and plot representations
    • Data explorer combining data
    • Plotting refactor integration (finalize)
    • Plotting tweaks as needed
    • Slicer GUI
    • Perspective data handling (likely last)
  • Near-term projects people could tackle now:
    • Finish data loader port (red2d_reader, abs_reader, saxs_reader, sesans_reader) - Maybe already finished? - Multi-column ascii data all taken care of in base ASCII reader
    • Finish operations
    • Finish rebinning
    • Finish trends and interpolations
    • Data explorer data representations
    • Data explorer linking gui to data
    • Data explorer trend and plot representations
    • Plotting refactor integration (finalize)
