Store post-processed data from the archives #1961

Open ttusar opened 4 years ago

ttusar commented 4 years ago

Instead of requiring the data from the archives to be post-processed every time you wish to include them in the plot, this could be done beforehand (would speed up the post-processing).

I assume what you are asking for is a bottom that let you select any "known" algorithm interactively on any displayed figure? So it's probably related to #1448?

ttusar commented 4 years ago

Actually, this doesn't necessarily have to do with interactive figures, it would already be useful with the post-processing and figures we have currently. As a way to speed up things. But of course, if a redo of post-processing using interactive figures is underway, then it makes sense to implement it in that context.

I assume what you are asking for is to get any arbitrary "known" result as a graph quickly and that you don't care how this is done under the hood? Then, what is your requirement of what quick means for a single added graph in single figure? And for a single added graph in all figures?

You assume correctly. What I would like is for the post-processing not to take (much) longer because of including known results to some new ones. But now the question comes to mind - is it taking this long because of the computations or the plotting? If the computation is reduced to almost zero, how much faster would the entire thing be?

I don’t know how to respond to this.
