Submission done finally

Damn it was an eventful 3-4 months, from crying to why the code is not working to enjoying the small success of getting the plots. I am grateful that I got the opportunity to be in GSOC and get to know the wonderful mentors Matteo and Gullo. Thank you for guiding me. Let's see what the final term evaluation beholds for me..Fingers crossed.

Also regardless of how the evaluation turns out to be, I am gonna continue contributing to the project as much as I can.

Almost done

Project is almost going to end currently, but there are so many plans for the future. I am gonna keep contributing in the future and make this a project a worthwhile tool for the astronomers to use.

Float Panels working but there's a catch

Kartik Mandar — Wed, 14 Aug 2024 16:09:00 GMT

Finally everything is working on floating panels and the dashboard is so much customisable now! It's awesome. But as every good thing has a catch, all my HoloViews objects are synced now, I don't yet know what the issue is but I have to figure this out!

Changing the plotting methods

So the recoding and redesign is done. But we were discussing about how we are plotting things in dashboard and wanted to have floatpanels for doing so.

Issue resolved

The problem with classes was resolved by making factory functions to encase them in, and then they were not conflicting with each other.

New issue propped up

When changing the whole architecture, a new issue has propped. An initialised object of the class can not be initialised again. So I am not able to revert back the home UI back dynamically.

Finally the issue resolves

Damn, those 2 weeks were stressful, finally the issue is resolved. I am able to render HoloViews and thus Bokeh plots inside my program and in the process my codebase is much better than before.

Refactoring the codebase

Kartik Mandar — Thu, 11 Jul 2024 14:48:00 GMT

I am refactoring the whole codebase to make it more maintainable and in that hoping to solve the issue with HoloViews. I am making the codebase fully pragmatic and declarative and using Parameterised classes. I hope so it resolves the issue with HoloViews.

Watching the tutorials in depth

Kartik Mandar — Tue, 09 Jul 2024 16:16:00 GMT

I am facing a serious bug now, I can't render bokeh plots at all. HoloViews objects is not able to render anything out at all. I have to find the solution because our whole project depends on HoloViews objects and its capabilities. Otherwise we are just plotting simple matplotlib plots. So currently I am going through the tutorials and documentation of all HoloViz ecosystem, be it Panel, or HoloViews or hvplot in detail. I am hoping to find the solution, maybe raise the issue through github, as I have seen some similar issue with people in the github issues of Panel.

Memory issue resolved

Kartik Mandar — Thu, 04 Jul 2024 17:13:00 GMT

So what was happening is that panel was not properly storing the EventList object stored in memory. I couldn't access it if I changed panes. Now I have made it global to be accessible throughout.
