The library design is not modular. The UI and SM libraries have been isolated. It also may wish to perform convolution by the instrument response. The lack of modularity and the in-flux migration from Tooltalk to XPA makes immediate use impractical. Interface definition with ASCFit, however, is crucial.
Portability is important for beta-testing at external sites.
Explore modularization of ASCFit libraries. The UI includes both a visulalization library, and an inter-process communication protocol. Currently, SM and SAOtng are supported, though the intent is to provide an interface which can support a variety of engines. A plotting meta-language is being defined and in a draft document . The command syntax itself is not specified, except by each application's parser, and by the Data Model filter specification.
