## SPD_QF_LIST__DEFINE

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]

    NAME:
     spd_qf_list__define

    PURPOSE:
     Defines an object for quality flag lists

    CALLING SEQUENCE:
     qf = Obj_New("spd_qf_list", t_start=t_start, t_end=t_end, qf_bits=qf_bits)

    INPUT:
     none

    KEYWORDS:
     t_start
     t_end
     qf_bits

    OUTPUT:
     quality flag list object reference

    METHODS:
     qf_merge(qf)  returns an spd_qf_list which is a merge of self with qf
     qf_time_slice(tstart, tend)   returns an spd_qf_list for times between tstart and tend
     get_qf(t)     returns the quality flag for scalar time t
     qf_print()    prints the values of the three arrays

    NOTES:
     1. Quality flags qf_bits for semiclosed time intervals [t_start, t_end) with t_start<t_end and qf_bits>0
     2. qf_bits = 0 is ignored since it is assumed to be the default
     3. t_start = t_end is not possible
     4. Adding two quality flags (bitwise OR) is handled by qf_add() and qf_total()

    EXAMPLES:
     x = obj_new('SPD_QF_LIST', t_start=[1262304000.0], t_end=[1263081600.0], qf_bits=[1])
     y = obj_new('SPD_QF_LIST', t_start=[1262649600.0,1263513600.0], t_end=[1263513600.0,1264377600.0], qf_bits=[2,3])
     z = x.qf_merge(y)
     test = z.qf_print()

    HISTORY:

    NOTES:
      Methods: GetProperty,SetProperty,GetAll,SetAll are now managed automatically using the parent class
      spd_ui_getset.  You can still call these methods when using objects of type spd_ui_axis_settings, and
      call them in the same way as before

## SPD_UI_CALL_SEQUENCE__DEFINE

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]

    NAME:
      spd_ui_call_sequence__define

    PURPOSE:
      Stores the sequence of procedure calls that was used to load data.

    CALLING SEQUENCE:
     obj = obj_new('spd_ui_call_sequence',loadeddata)

    Methods:
      addloadcall: This method should be called in load spedas data, every time
                   'spd_ui_load_data2obj' is called(DEPRECATED, use addSt(), with type:'loadapidata')
      getCalls:  This method returns the list of stored function calls as an
                 array of pointers to structs
      setCalls: This method stores an array of pointers to structs that represent
                 function/procedure calls
      reCall: This method will re-execute the sequence of stored function calls

      merge: This method will combine two call sequence objects.  It attempts to guarantee that
              the correct data quantities are generated, while preventing duplication of effort.

      adddeletecall: This method should be called wheneever data is deleted in the GUI
            it adds the deletion to the call sequence list, to be replayed by saved documents

      getDomElement: serializes this class into an XML Dom object
      BuildFromDomElement:  deserializes this class from an XML Dom Object

    NOTE:  1.  This object is designed in such a way that it should be straightforward
           to ingest calls from other types of routines. For example: calls to delete data
           or calls to load data from non-spedas sources.  The public interface
           is set up in such a way that it should ease these types of extensions

           2.  Right now, it cannot guarantee that *all* the data that was saved will
           be present when reCalled, because it does not keep track of custom tplot variables,
           or data processing calls.

## SPD_UI_COORDINATE_SYSTEMS

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]

     NAME:
         spd_ui_coordinate_systems

     PURPOSE:
         This object exists for two purposes:
             1) Maintain the list of coordinate systems used throughout SPEDAS
                in a single location
             2) Encapsulate the methods that produce coordinate system lists
                for different contexts, e.g., the verify data panel,
                load data panel, data processing panel, etc.

         Both are ultimately for code maintenance

     KEYWORDS:

     METHODS:
         makeCoordSysList: creates and returns a list of valid coordinate systems

     EXAMPLES:
         To make a simple list of general purpose coordinate systems:
            SPEDAS> coordSysObj = obj_new('spd_ui_coordinate_systems') ; create the object
            SPEDAS> print, coordSysObj->makeCoordSysList(/uppercase) ; make the list
               GSM AGSM GSE GEI SM GEO MAG
            SPEDAS> print, coordSysObj->makeCoordSysList(/uppercase, /include_none) ; include N/A
               N/A GSM AGSM GSE GEI SM GEO MAG
            SPEDAS> print, coordSysObj->makeCoordSysList(/include_misc) ; include miscellaneous coordinates
               gsm agsm gse gei sm geo mag enp rtn hdz gci dsl ssl spg sse sel
            SPEDAS> obj_destroy, coordSysObj ; delete the object

     NOTE:
          All coordinate system lists exist in this object's constructor, with pointers
            to the lists in the objects state structure

          Changes to this object should be reflected in the corresponding test procedure, spd_ui_test_coordinate_systems_obj

          This routine was forked from the THEMIS coord object (thm_ui_coordinate_systems)

## SPD_UI_DATA_GROUP

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]

    NAME:
      spd_ui_data_group

    Purpose:
      This object represents a group of data objects, as a means of
      simplifying the logic of the loaded data object

    METHODS:
      addDataObject:  This method takes a dataObject, extracts the name & active flag
                  Then passes those into the add method

      add: This is the generic add method, takes a name, an object, and an optional active
                  flag

      remove: This method removes an object with a particular name from the data structure
              It returns 1 on success and 0 upon failure.  Optional keyword nodelete, stops
              data from being deleted when data Object removed.

      removeall: this method removes all objects from the group.
              It returns 1 on success and 0 upon failure.  Optional keyword nodelete, stops
              data from being deleted when data Object removed.

      hasChild: this method determines if the group has a child with a particular name
                returns 1 for yes and 0 for no

      hasActive: this method returns 1 if the group has an active object with a
                particular name and 0 otherwise

      setActive: this method sets an object with a particular name to active
                 If the name provided is the groupname, the whole group will
                 become active

      clearActive: this method will deactivate the object with the provided name
                 If the name provided is the groupname, the whole group will
                 become inactive

      clearAllActive: this method will deactive the group and all its members

      getActiveChildren: this method returns the names of all active members or 0 if there
                 are no active members(or no members at all)

      getChildren: this method returns the names of all members

      getTimeObject: this method returns the timeobject in the group

      getDataObjects: this method returns the dataobjects in the group

      getObject: this method returns an object with a particular name or 0 if it
                 is not stored in this object

      getObjects: this method returns all objects stored in the group or 0 if
                 it contains no objects

      getActive: this method returns the active flag for the group

      getName: this method returns the group name

      setName: this method sets the group name

      getDataNames: returns the names of children BUT time

      setTimeName: set the name of the time object in this group

      getTimeName: get the name of the time object in this group

      setYaxisName: set the name of the yaxis group for this group

      getYaxisName: get the name of the yaxis group for this group

      setIndepName:set the name of the independent variable data name for this group

      getIndepName: get the name of the independent variable data name for this group

      getSize: this method returns the number of objects stored in the group

      getTimeRange: this method returns the start and stop time strings the
                    time object of this group

      init: has two optional keywords.  name,active

      NOTES: As the data_group object is part of loaded data and data management,
             destroying this object or removing from this object will result in
             the contained objects being destroyed and their memory being freed

## SPD_UI_LOADED_DATA::DPROC

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]

    NAME:
     spd_ui_loaded_data::dproc

    PURPOSE:
     extracts tplot variables from active data, performs data processing
     tasks, creates new variables, optionally sets those variables to
     active variables

    CALLING SEQUENCE:
     success = loaded_data_obj -> dproc(dp_task, dp_pars,callSequence, names_out=names_out, no_setactive=no_setactive)

    INPUT:
     dp_task = a string variable specifying the task to be carried
               out. The options are ['subavg', 'submed', 'smooth',
               'blkavg','clip','deflag','degap','spike','deriv',
               'pwrspc','wave','hpfilt']
     dp_pars = an anonymous structure containing the input parameters for
     the task, this will be unpacked in this routine and the parameters
     are passed through. Note that, since this is only called from the
     thm_GUI_new routine, there is no error checking for
     content, it is expected that the calling routine passes through the
     proper parameters in each case.

     callSequence = Object to store previous dproc operations for replay

    OUTPUT:
     success = a byte, 0b if the process was unsuccessful or cancelled,
               1b if the process was completed

    KEYWORDS:
     names_out = the tplot names of the created data variables
     no_setactive = if set, the new variables will no be set to active at
                    the end of the process.
     hwin, sbar = history window and status bar objects for updates
     gui_id = the id of the calling widget - to pass into warning pop-ups

    HISTORY:

     switched output from message to byte, 29-oct-2008,jmm
     12-Dec-2008,prc Fixed bug where dproc was not reading data stored in
     loaded data,but instead was reading non-gui-data.
     Fixed bug where data produced by dproc was not inheriting any meta-data.
     23-jan-2009, jmm, deletes any tplot variables that are created
                       during processing, added catch, so that deletion
                       of tplot variables is done if an error bonks a
                       process.

## SPD_UI_LOADED_DATA__DEFINE

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]

    NAME:
     spd_ui_loaded_data__define

    PURPOSE:
     This is an array of data objects and represents all the data that has been loaded
     for this session.

    CALLING SEQUENCE:

    OUTPUT:
     reference to data object array

    ATTRIBUTES:
     array of data objects

    METHODS:
     Add             adds a new tplot variable to the loaded data object by tplot variable name
     Remove          removes an object from the array by name or group name
     GetAll          returns an array of all data names
     GetActive       returns a list of all data that is currently displayed
     GetChildren     returns a list of the children for a particular variable name
     SetActive       makes a data object active given a tplot name
     IsActive        Checks if a variable with a given name is active
     IsParent        Checks if a variable with a given name is a parent
     IsChild         Checks if a variable with a given name is a child
     ClearActive     makes a data object inactive
     ClearAllActive  clears all active data objects
     GetVarData      gets the data component from a variable.  For a group variable, the routine
                     will need to compose the data first
     GetTvarData     gets a tplot variable,  For a group data structure it will construct
                     a new tplot variable.
     GetObjects      returns an array of all data objects, can also take a name or group name

      NOTE:

      1. You should use 'getTvarData' to generate a
      tplot variable that has all the dimensions of the variable composed
      as a single entity.  After you have modified the variable you
      should you 'add', to add the data back in to the data structure.

      2. Note also, that you don't need to have separate rules to data process parents and children, if you use
      the same getTvarData/add workflow above for children variables, it
      will work fine.

      3. INIT takes an argument, /autoload. If that is set, the load routine will load all the tplot variables in
      memory, but not all the metadata for the variables will be set correctly.

    NOTES:
     Created 7-13-09

     Behavior:
       No locked panels: Scroll bar should be zeroed and desensitized
       Locked panels w/o valid data: Scroll bar should be centered and desensitized
       Locked panel w/ valid data: Scroll bar should be sensitized, position will
                                   depend on the data and panel ranges.

               line-trace selection.
               save-data-as

      Mode 2 : y-spectra-layout selection
               z-spectra-layout selection
               (possibly data-processing)

      Mode 3 : Calculate Panel
               Possibly future versions of data analysis

      Mode Descriptions
      Mode 0 is a tplot-like selection.  It provides access to
      only the groupname and doesn't let the user drill down into internal
      quantities.

      When values are returned from mode 0, an array of pointers to
      structs that store that names of the contained variables will be returned.
      (or 0 on fail)

      Mode 1 is a 1-D component selection.  It allows the user to
      look at and select internal 1-d quantities,

      When values are returned from mode 1, an array of strings will be
      returned. (or 0 on fail)

      Mode 2 is a 2-D component selection.  It allows the user to look at
      and select any 2-d quantities.  In mode 2 yaxis-values will
      not be grouped inside their containing group, instead they will be grouped
      side-by-side with their containing group.

      Values returned from mode 2 will be an array of strings of groupnames.
      (or 0 on fail)

      Mode 3 allows selection of either group quantities('tha_state_pos') or
      components('tha_state_pos_x'), but does not allow branch selection.
      (ie Cannot grab spedas and get all quantities.)

      Public Methods:
      update: Call this routine after loaded data has been changed by
              some other process
      getProperty: Use this to get the current widget_tree settings
      setProperty: Use this to change the current widget_tree settings
      getValue(): Use this to return a list of the current selections.

      The other methods should NOT be called by external code.  Making code
      that uses them will make this code very difficult to maintain. So if
      you need a feature, just request that it be added instead.

## SPD_UI_WINDOWS__DEFINE

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]

    NAME:
     spd_ui_windows__define

    PURPOSE:
     This is an array of window objects and represents all the data that has been loaded
     for this session.

    CALLING SEQUENCE:

    OUTPUT:
     reference to window object array

    ATTRIBUTES:
     array of window objects

    METHODS:
     SetProperty
     GetProperty
     Add             creates a new window object and adds it to the array
     GetActive       returns active window object
     SetActive       makes a window object active given a windowID
     GetSelected     returns the selected window object
     SetSelected     makes a window object selected

     NOTE: These 3 methods do not appear to exist
     GetDefaultTitle returns a title, if the user has provided a default one
     AskForTitle     return 1=if user wants to be asked each time, 0=don't ask, use default
     ClearActive     resets active windows to inactive (must provide a window ID)

     ClearAll        clears either selected or active windows (must use a keyword)
     AddObject       adds a new object to the array (method for internal use)
     RemoveObject    removes an object from the array (routine for internal use)
     GetObjects      returns an array of all data objects, can also take a name or group name (method for internal use)

      NOTE:

      Markers can be active and/or selected.
      ACTIVE:  If a window is 'active' then it is currently displayed on a window.
      If the window is no longer active, then the window is no longer
      active and must be deactivated. To make a window inactive the user must provide a windowID.
      SELECTED: If a window is 'selected' then it is either a new window (which automatically
      by default, becomes the selected window) or the user has clicked on a specific
      window to select it. There can only be one 'selected' window at a time.
