Muti-Week View

Attendees: JeffreyHarris, RobinDunn, MimiYin, ReidEllis

First Pass (Chandler 0.7.x)

Experimentally Usable

• menu item to expose month view
• one month
• back/forth arrow for month
• colour matching - text drawn in colour of collection
• start time "-" title
• lozenge for multi-day

Usable

• ellipsis if too many events
• month/year pulldown

Nice to Have

• swatches
• noon bar

Cool to Have

• previous/next month days displayed
• bar graph per day
• create new event in-place/edit
• select/multi-select to drag and drop
• resize - all-day / multi-day
• anytime vs multi-day
• expando weeks
• zoom in/out contextualized navigation

Neded for 1.0

• navigation integration
• selected state for event
• current day indicator
• overlay/colour scheme

End Goal

• expanding & collapsing weeks
• view picker

Implementation Notes

• try to keep controller and view separate?
• MultiWeekView and MultiWeekViewController

Things Current View Does Okay

• async notifications
• onIdle
• recurrence aware
• update
• cache canvasItems

Using GraphicsContext

• cache paths
• have a path for one week of boxes and re-use it over and over
• separate ends of lozenges - don't want them to scale
• try to be smarter about cached items
  • keep more data? 6 weeks before and after today? 8?
