SBSCL expect one of the Output elements to be a time symbol

[shalinshah1993]

On running repressilator.xml test, I found that it returns a NullPointerException when trying to execute the following plot2D output:

<plot2D id="postprocessing" name="Timecourse after post-processing">
      <listOfCurves>
        <curve id="plot_2__plot_2_0_0__plot_2_0_1" logX="false" logY="false" xDataReference="dg_2_0_0" yDataReference="dg_2_0_1"/>
        <curve id="plot_2__plot_2_1_0__plot_2_0_0" logX="false" logY="false" xDataReference="dg_2_1_0" yDataReference="dg_2_0_0"/>
        <curve id="plot_2__plot_2_0_1__plot_2_1_0" logX="false" logY="false" xDataReference="dg_2_0_1" yDataReference="dg_2_1_0"/>
      </listOfCurves>
    </plot2D>

This is because none of the x or y data references are time symbols.

This is understandable since originally SBSCL was complete command line library and therefore plot2D wasn't supported.

@draeger What do you recommend, when working with SED-ML files the output need not be MultiTable?

[matthiaskoenig]

The current DataStructures for SED-ML are completely inadequate to represent SED-ML results. Personally, I would just drop the old DataStructures and create new one which are able to handle the data produced by SED-ML simulations.

Basically IProcessedSedMLSimulationResults should store the DataGenerators!!! not the outputs. The DataGenerators are the real processed results!.

Outputs are afterwards generated from the DataGenerator Multitable.

@draeger How can I deal with 2D data using MultiTable assuming that there might or might not be any time column? If not MultiTable, do you have any data structure suggestion?

[draeger]

I think, MultiTable should be changed anyway, because it is based on a TableModel from the swing package, which is no longer maintained. In this context, we should rethink if we can make the time column optional.

Let's discuss it during our Monday meeting.

[shalinshah1993]

There are two different class in jlibsedml @matthiaskoenig

IRawSimulationsResult and IProcessedSimulationsResults. The second class directly gives processed data generators as output. This is what currently happens in SBSCL, depending on what data generators Output elements requests for will be available as 2D array data in IProcessedSimulationsResults.

Most of the existing sed-ml tests work except for oscli-nested-pulse and repeated-scan-oscli. Somehow they request for datagenerators but MathML for them could not be resolved as mentioned in #49

[shalinshah1993]

Currently, the output of running SED-ML file is a 2D double[][] data array which contains information about all the data generators requested by the Output sedml element.

This can be changed in the future depending on whether we keep MultiTable or change it.
