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

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


May 12 to May 22

  • 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.


May 23 to May 29

  • 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, after canvas.py pops up, TypeError: Couldn't find conversion for foreign struct 'cairo.Context' occurs when click on blank canvas


May 30 to June 5

  • Solved TypeError: Couldn't find conversion for foreign struct 'cairo.Context' by
sudo apt-get python-gi-cairo

This package is a Python Cairo bindings for the GObject library

  • If problems occur when installing gaphas by
sudo apt-get install python-gaphas

Check the universe repository before installation may help
