PlotLab is yet another plotting tool...

  • plotlabserver contains a stand-alone, system-independent c++/OpenGL application, which controls several plot windows and receives plot commands from clients.

This project provides a docker context to build and run plotlabserver.

Build Status

CI

Requirements

  • docker
  • make

Getting Started

clone project:

git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 git@github.com:DLR-TS/plotlabserver.git

or if you have already cloned the project:

cd plotlabserver
git submodules init
git submodules update
  • if you do not clone with --recurse-submodules make will fail.

To view help for available make targets run the default target:

make

To build and run plotlabserver run the provide "up" target:

make up

Display Modes

The provided docker context supports three display modes: native, window_manager, headless. To change the display mode modify the DISPLAY_MODE environmental variable in the docker-compose.yaml

Setting a display mode

There are two options for setting a display mode. You can modify the docker-compose.yaml

...
    environment:
      - DISPLAY_MODE=${DISPLAY_MODE:-native}
      # - DISPLAY_MODE=${DISPLAY_MODE:-window_manager}
      #- DISPLAY_MODE=${DISPLAY_MODE:-headless}
...

Uncomment the desired display mode.

You can also directly set the environmental variable before calling "make up":

DISPLAY_MODE=native make up

or

DISPLAY_MODE=window_manager make up

or

DISPLAY_MODE=headless make up

Display Mode: native

plotlabserver windows will be displayed as native windows within the host system window manager (does not support video recording)

Display Mode: window_manager

plotlabserver windows will be displaced within a nested i3 window manager (supports video recording)

Display Mode: headless

plotlabserver windows will be displayed on a virtual xvfb display suitable for headless host systems (supports video recording)

Display Recording

The docker context provides built in display recording via ffmpeg. This is supported in window_manager and headless display modes. One display recording is kept at a time. Triggering a new scenario will result in the previous recording to be overwritten.

Artifacts

All build artifacts will be available at plotlabserver/build including the plotlabserver binary.
