Call for new ideas for tools in jSparc

[153957]

jSparc currently has only 3 tools, we could easily create more using the powerful data access that we have. I call for ideas/concepts that could make useful additions.

My ideas:

• Event display (Event display #38)
  • Load an event set or coincidences into a page and show on a map the stations that were hit, their color indicating the arrival time and the size the number of MIPs.
• Station distances
  • Have two side by side dropdown menus with station lists, allow use to select two stations. Show their location on a map (OpenLayers), draw a line between them and show the distance (also in nanoseconds).
• Direction reconstruction (Add shower angle reconstruction/information #7, Implement direction reconstruction web app #46)
  • As a new feature for the analysis tool, partly done by Niek.
  • As new component for jSparc, partly done by David.
• Coincidences analysis
  • Make a tool that can do things with coincidences from the ESD
• API interface
  • Get data from the API through an interface

Some of these are just of the top of my head. Are they good ideas? what are other useful tools? Let me know what you think.

I particularly like the event display and direction reconstruction (single station and multiple stations).

Ok :) today I implemented the two you did not particularly like, because they were easy to implement. I currently do not have the time to work on the other ones.

If you switch from an option e.g. say stations to the man option (not even sure where it stands for...) the url ends with 'undefined' as in http://data.hisparc.nl/api/undefined and looks like:

Maybe has something to do with the options?

Ah good catch, fixed in f150b67.

Well man is sort of like man [cmd].
It gives an overview of the possibilities.

On a mobile device i.e. iPhone or iPad the link to the API Interface and Station distances links do not work because it misses the jsparc in the link i.e. it refers to: http://data.hisparc.nl/media/api_interface.html

This is not present on any non-mobile device, all links work as they should...

You are not accidentally on http://data.hisparc.nl/media/jsparc instead of http://data.hisparc.nl/media/jsparc/ ?

We should fix that by the way, Redirect or 404 the one without the slash..

Damn it, you are right. Really not used to having to type the ending /. Because you are greeted with a page, you think everything is oké. We should indeed fix that
