Another candidate is of course the name of the element. Just found: this is a duplicate of #123032 Could you make a graphical mockup: What should it look like? This helps the developers a lot because implementing the code is often very easy, but the design itself is the hard part. >Now it is not possible to compare e.g. the ionisation energy of several >elements at one glance.
Isn't that possible with the gradients (comparison of the values)?
Also don't forget that you can plot the values.

:) Yes, of course, but: You can compare only this single value between different elements, but not the relationsship between two values and several elements.
E.g.:
There are some basic, but interesting interrelations between e.g. energy of first ionisation and electronic configuration (or group). You need the exact values to do some fast rough calculations. With gradients displayed its not easy for beginners to know the group and electronic configuration at a glance.
This helped me alot with understandig the pse, but I needed a printed version with several infos at once. I would love to use kalzium for this, as it has several really nice features.
I hope this is in graspable some way ;)
I will try and do a mockup, but as time permits it could last till next monday. Perhaps it will closly resemble existing printed pse's.

Ok, now I understand. You want to compare *two* values. Yes, I am waiting for
the mockup, lets see if we can do something for you, perhaps even for KDE
3.5.4 in case we get a feature-exception :-)
Any update here? Monday is over ;) Dave, any update here? I would like to add this for KDE 4.2 but need a better understanding of it, first. |
