GSoC 2018

[TUSHAR SINHA]

Hello SciRuby community. I am a third year undergraduate student from IIT Kharagpur, India. I have experience in working with C++ and Python. I had a look on the project ideas for GSoC 2018 and found the ones on Ruby Matplotlib and Red Visualizer to be interesting and I think I can make contributions to them. I am right now trying to understand the code base of SciRuby and would start making contributions as soon as I develop a fair understanding of the code base.

Also I request the people here to suggest me some sources to read which can help me in developing a plan to implement the project on Ruby Matplotlib.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Tushar,

If you are interested in working on Matplotlib , please start here:
http://www.aosabook.org/en/matplotlib.html

Once you are familiar with very basics, I would suggest you to study codebase of
matplotlib which can be found here: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib

Share what you understand from it and we can help you further.

Best,
Prasun

Hii Prasun,
Sorry for the late reply but I had my mid semester examinations going on and hence I couldn't devote much time to go through the code base of Matplotlib. I have spent time in understanding the code base of matplotlib and I fairly understood its implementation. But, one concern that I have is that matplotlib is very huge and implementing whole of in a span of 3 months seems a very difficult task to me. Is it possible to break it down and implement a part of it as a GSoC project ? If yes, what all things you think have the priority and should be implemented first ? Please let me know as soon as possible so that I can start working on my proposal.

Regards

Tushar

Hi Tushar,

We know its a huge project. Also, SciRuby is willing to accomodate more students on this project. Why don't you come up with a line graph using a C API with AGG?

You will then be in a position to define the deliverables for the summer.

Also note: We need to see some code :) 

(Need not be perfect.)

Best,

Prasun

Hii Prasun,

Thanks for the feedback. I like your suggestion of writing the code for a line graph and then deciding how much of Matplotlib I will be able to implement in a span of 3 months as a GSoC project.
I have started working and I will send you the basic code (as you said it needs not be perfect :) ) as soon as possible. Also, any valuable suggestions about the resources which would help me in implementing line graph are welcome.

Regards

Have a look at my other email on this topic. We recognize that Ruby matplotlib is a large project, and we are willing to allow students to split it up. It is also a project which we are prepared to fund beyond GSOC.
