#### Goals
| Milostone | Goal | Comment | Done |
| --------- | ---- | ------- | ---- |
| MS1		| G0: Memory layout | Save efficient bits in the memory | &#9745; |
|			| G1: File Reader | File reader who can detinguish between real values and integer and the bitstring. Should be recognize labels. | &#9745; |
| MS2		| G2: Dockable widget | To have a gui widget that can be docked and the state should be saved. | &#9745; |
| 			| G3: Line Graph | A line graph with axis label should be implemented | &#9745; |
| 			| G4: Light redraw | Save the intermediate values to not calculate them each redraw | &#9745; | 



#### Future Features 
These features are not in a milestone or a goal yet but can be in the future.

| Feature | Comment |
| ------- | ------- |
| FS0: Log-file in UTF-8 to binary data type | Saves disk space |
| FS1: Multiple run view | Simmulateasly showing 2 or multiple runs to compare them |
| FS2: Free up memory | Free up memory thats not needed when the visualization  has been calculated |
| FS3: Log-File Multithreading | Log-File should be calculated on other threads then main for speedup and responisvness|
| FS4: Projects | To create and save projects to work with more metalog files |
| FS5: Interactive Graphs | To Graph should be costomizeable eg. LineWidth, CircleWidth, (Color, Hide)/Series, Series-Label|
| FS6: Console/StatusLine | To see what the programm is doing |
| FS7: Log-File Overview | To check the file and show diffrent parameter |
| FS8: Log-File Manager | Select and deselect metalog Files Ready, Loading ,Pending |
| FS9: Select and Highlighting | |  
| FS9a: Interconnect selecting from diffrent views | |
| FS10: View BackPointer | To show more data thats not on the graph |
| FS11: Multirun view with 2dVisualization | It should be possible to show diffrent runs in the view in the same Map eg each run a color |
| FS12: Show all runs in the same map | This helps to get a picture of the problem that wants to be solved |
