In preparation for my South Africa visit I've started to play around with some of the MeqTrees example scripts used in previous courses.

If one creates a VLAAA4h.MS and then runs

Waterhole/doc/Timba/Courses/MCCT2009/Intro/demo4-predict-ps.py

as its checked in then nothing appears for the inspector plot for ns.inspect_K (line 70 of the script)

BUT if I comment out 'dims=[0],' in the next line then the expected plot appears along with 27 buttons next to the plot! But only button 0 displays any useful data (which is what I would have expected, as we're just plotting the mean of Jones K for each antenna. I can get rid of the buttons by changing line 170 of Timba/PyApps/src/Plugins/DataDisplayMainWindow_qt4.py to:

if len(dims) == 2 and min(_dims)>=2 and max(_dims)<=6:

instead of the checked in

if len(dims) == 2 and min(_dims)<=2 and max(_dims)<=6:

I don't understand why switching off dims=[0] works, but that's something fed into the Composer node.

A longer term issue is the window management of the inspectors. On my computer the display of inspect_K just about fills the entire screen whereas the visibility display of ns.inspect_predict is just about hidden at the bottom of the screen.

I think the display issue is related to the one I complain about here: https://github.com/ska-sa/meqtrees/issues/874
