My 13th Week of GSoC #week13 #mss
What I Did This Week: This week, my testing PR for the docking widget, TopView, and SideView was merged. I also opened a new PR for integrating the legend into the TopView of the MSS for the docking widget. I began working on the regex feature, but last Thursday, my mentor advised me to pause on that to clarify further implementation details. Consequently, I focused on the legend feature, which is nearly complete, though there's one known issue that I'm hoping to resolve soon.
Where I Got Stuck: While working on the legend, I encountered challenges due to a lack of clarity about which class handles the map in TopView. My mentor provided some guidance, but it wasn't entirely helpful, possibly due to a misunderstanding or insufficient detail. Instead of using Matplotlib, I was creating a Qt legend widget. However, during Thursday's meeting, my mentor clarified that the widget wouldn't appear in the map image, so I should use Matplotlib. I eventually figured out how to implement that.
What’s Next Week: My mentor suggested returning to work on the regex feature, so I'll be focusing on that, along with writing test code for the legend feature.
