ikats/hmi repository overview

⁠ IKATS HMI

An overview of IKATS global architecture is available here⁠

This GUI, as web client, is carried out on a JavaScript basis, supported on the AngularJS Framework. The version of JavaScript used is ES6, it is already more than 97% compatible with the main browsers (source: ECMA Script compatibility table⁠). The consistency of the design and the "responsive" aspect is ensured by the CSS Bootstrap framework.

IKATS HMI is composed of :

• a graphical user interface (GUI) allowing users to interact with IKATS
• a vizualization module that embeds a library of viztools.

⁠IKATS GUI

Available features are:

1. Workflow management (New/Open/Save)
2. Data management: 2.1 Datasets (delete/deep delete) 2.2 tables (delete)
3. Operators list (with a search box
4. Worflow area (on which operators can be slided from operators list, and linked together to build a workflow)

⁠IKATS Vizualization module

This module allows you to display generically data generated by an IKATS operator (computed or explored data). It is composed of 2 sub-modules : VizTools and VizEngine

The sub-module VizTools is a kind of Factory. It dynamically instantiates instances of VizTool ("data visualization tool / models"). The central point of this module is therefore the sub-module "VizEngine" (i.e: rendering engine), it then has a coordinator role between the different "instances" of the sub-module VizTools. This architectural choice allows great flexibility in adding, modifying or deleting a visualization tool.
