drag a probe over a map and have a graph adjust to the values at the new location.Second on my list would be the ability to animate a map display, with "controls"
for speed, frame omission, etc.Third on my list would be the ability to use a globe display, not just a flat map
display. Bill Fingerhut On 5/20/2013 10:51 AM, Tom Whittaker wrote:
Before I left the Unidata Committees, there was some discussion about investigating this direction in the future. While it would take many, many person-years to recapitulate the entire IDV in JavaScript using the WebGL, it might be practical to head more in the direction that Bill talks about: having a "full IDV" running "in the cloud" somewhere and feeding an "applet" (JS and WebGL) the necessary-for-rendering data. There are some exciting examples of just the visualization parts at sites like ThreeJS (http://threejs.org/) that I find really exciting. The fundamental design issue is where you would draw the line between "display" and "everything else"....Bill, when you say "present and manipulate", exactly what functions are you thinking of?

A Java Applet is one way this could be done. My suggestion is different than Pauls, if I'm not missing something. Paul seems to suggest a Java Applet that would be almost a completely functional IDV, while I am suggesting an Applet that would just present and manipulate an IDV display. Perhaps, after a display is created in the IDV, it could be saved as an Applet (similar to saving a bundle, image, or movie) ?

It is interesting to note that EarthGL: http://gher-diva.phys.ulg.ac.be/EarthGL/doc , has an IDV-like globe display, but I think the data is served up via WMS rather than being directly read-in from netcdf or grib files. So perhaps this is more a question to IDV developers: are there any plans to develop an applet-like IDV that could be run in a web browser?
