Goals

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

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
