This week, my focus was on exploring potential visualization methods for the gridlab-d file based on user input. While researching, I came across an open-source visualizer at https://github.com/jdechalendar/glm-plotter/tree/master/glm-plotter. However, integrating it into our project might prove challenging due to its reliance on a heavy web framework with Python 2 and outdated libraries. Additionally, it lacks functionalities essential for our needs, such as visualizing power flow and incorporating other features.
As a solution, I propose developing our visualization tool using node visualization tools. One promising option I’m considering is https://visjs.org/, a dynamic, browser-based library tailored for handling large datasets and facilitating data manipulation and interaction. My next step involves exploring its suitability for our project requirements and evaluating its potential integration.
