Re: [Scaffoldhunter-devel] GSoC 2014 Molecule Clouds

[Till S. <til...@tu...>]

Hi,
i propose the following way to familiarize yourself with the SH software: 

1. Get an overview of the user side functionality.  You can use the tutorial [1] to do so. You do not need to understand the chemical details in depth at this point, but you should get what a view is, how the subsetbar works, how the selection works and the general concepts of the SH software. 
2. As you are interested in implementing a view, it would be natural to start with the View / GenericView  interface in the package edu.udo.scaffoldhunter.view. Figure out the purpose of the different methods. 
3. Get in touch with the database layer (edu.udo.scaffoldhunter.db). This layer contains the objects (molecules, scaffolds, subsets, etc) you will need to handle in your view. Most of them are POJO style classes. It is sufficient to understand how the different objects are connected/related to each other at this point. You will only get very seldom in contact with the DbManager class (which handles the loading / saving of the data). 
4. Familiarize yourself with Piccolo [2]. It is the toolkit we use for visualization. You can also use the other views as an example how to visualize the molecules/scaffolds in piccolo.

I think this will take some time ;-) Feels free to ask further questions.
