Rene
====
some improvements in hadd, TGraphErrors, TSelectorDraw.
Philippe
========
Cint:
Port to Visual Studio 8
Fix a few issues seen by a new user using vc6 (not vc6 specific)
I will tag cint 5.16.3 in the next few days.
I/O:
Markus is working on the TRefProxy
Sergei is working of TSQLFile
I am working on a 'fast' version of CloneTree which skips the unstreaming
and unzipping.
(there is one remaining difficulty on how to deal with TProcessIds).
Fons
====
Working on PROOF and SC05
Alice demo in preparation
Gunther
=======
Extending OLBD and xrootd.
Jose
====
Working on indent utility for the code checker
Jose will send the script address
Stefan
======
New Reflex API to follow the coding conventions.
Will add a build directory (for standalone build)
will also add doc, test, python and scripts directory
Fons propose to add a README in the Reflex directory
Discussing with Axel and Philippe for converting CINT to reflex.
Ilka
====
* Submitted abstracts for CHEP06
* Qt layer activities:
- all tests redone against developpment version 5.06/00 on 1-Nov;
- performed additional tests requested during the phone conference
on 4-Nov with Jerome and Valeri;
- all required patches tested and feedback was given in details;
* User support: provided feedback and examples.
* Problem of changing a picture button image for an disabled button fixed.
* Work in progress on the new user interface of TF1Editor.
Olivier
=======
* Some Rule checker clean up. New rules have been introduced.
* Option "AH" in PaintAxis in now working.
* TGaxis: Alphanumeric label painted in pixel size did not have the
correct size.
* Timur is making good progress with lego and surface drawing with OGL.
* The angular variables in POL, SPH, CYL and PSR representations are now
mapped correctly.
PostScript:
* Yet an other mod to make CUPS version 1.1.22 happy
* The marker size is now the same as the one on screen.
* Change options to have a better outlines rendering with gl2ps.
* Merging TPostScript and GL2PS going on. As expected it is not very easy.
SVG:
* In SVG text strings:
< is now changed to <
> " >
& " &
< > and & are SVG's control characters and cannot be written directly.
Misc:
* Request to represent TH3 with OpenGL (projection, slices etc ...)
* On a user request, I made a simple macro making polar plot from a graph
He changed it into a class called TPolarGraph. Do we want to have that
class or is better to macro a huge change in all classes to produce
polar plots ?
