explore csv plotting options #9

Open mattstarr opened 10 years ago

mattstarr commented 10 years ago

Here are some links with related info and questions: (assuming js reading csv) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3567369/reading-server-side-file-with-javascript http://jquery-csv.googlecode.com/git/examples/flot.html http://learn.jquery.com/using-jquery-core/ First of all - is this our best option (flot seems pretty sleek, though), and second, would we be better with a java applet or webStart? (https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_webstart.xml)

it just occurred to me that we may be able to feed the csv file directly to the webpage (or js) through our script to use web.py. Regardless of the method, (although flot should ease this) updating the page to reflect/plot the most recent values will likely be the trickiest part.

flask and web.py seem very similar, and each appear to have their advantages. They are both absolutely worth exploring. flask seems SLIGHTLY less convoluted (at first glance, anyways).

Matplotlib (using JSON, instead, which is compatible with flot, too), may be the way to go, if only for now. (RE: https://github.com/mattstarr/autosmoker/issues/6)

From Sean: http://raspberrywebserver.com/cgiscripting/rpi-temperature-logger/ That seems pretty cool, too.
