Summary: I am doing GSOC2016 for ASCEND, and I will do something on Canvas function.

• Browse my code here: mike:
• Check out my code using svn co http://svn.ascend4.org/branches/mike

Discussion notes of 12 May 2016

To get the canvas GUI running in the trunk code, I used:

john@thunder:~/ascend/trunk2$ ./pygtk/canvas/canvas.py

12 May 2016 to 22 May 2016

• Set development environment and play with canvas.

• Find a problem about module 'ascpy' in my branch, which cannot be found in canvas.py.

• But when I run canvas.py of main trunk, module 'ascpy' can be found, but another error is called:

libascend.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Discussion notes of 23 May 2016

• cannot find module 'ascpy' is because I need to compile by

scons -j4

• find a bug of Adrian's branch, which is, when run the solver, ascend kills the background terminal. Trying different ubuntu system may work.

23 May 2016 to 29 May 2016

• Tested Adrian's branch on ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Previous bug doesn't exist (ascend kills the terminal)

• Try to understand Gaphas and libavoid.

• Link 'libavoid' on ASCEND wikin has 404 error.

• When 'scons' ASCEND in Ubuntu16.04, SWIG error comes. sulution here

Discussion notes of 30 May 2016

• When try to run canvas.py, should set PYTHONPATH to

ascend_trunk/trunk/model/johnpye/fprops/python

• For Adrian's version

canvas.py doesn't work because of

Error: sys.path must be a list of directory names

Reason: installed python-gaphas uses gtk2. But we require gtk3. Solution:

git checkout gtk3
git pull

However, some error exists because variable not declared, etc.
