ImPaCT

Improving Panel Consensus Tool (ImPaCT) is a GUI that can visualize a series of ratings and rankings from multiple reviewers to multiple proposals.

How to run it

Before download the package, please make sure you have installed all dependencies, e.g., toml, pandas, tkinter.

Download the package:

pip install git+https://github.com/lexilxu/Rankings-UI

---

To initialize the GUI, the user needs a configuration file. An example of the configuration file is provided in config_rest.toml. After installation and preparation of the configuration file, the GUI can be opened by running the \texttt{main.py} file with the following codes:

instance = GUI(``config_rest.toml'')
instance.show()

Tasks

• Fix the problem with AStar

• Better example to check the results.

• Pop the load data window up again? Now it is one-time upload.

• A bug with filtering --- cannot switch back to all items.

• Proposal details?

• Add a default directory in the configuration file.

• Displaying reviews on a canvas as boxes, with graphical attributes that depend on the reviews

• Simple GUI
  -- right click on box, displays menu + info -- allows changing order of columns -- select a box--> highlight all boxes for the same proposal

• data input scripts (reading review files, reviewer files, proposal info...) (demo version)

• menus for mapping properties to graph attributes, and legend

• filtering e.g proposals with OM >= 3

Associating rectangle properties to review and proposal attributes

TBExpanded tkinter rectangle attributes

• dash
• fill
• outline
• width
• Forget for now about: stipple and offset, all active and disabled state attributes
• tags -- this is a special one, to think how to use it tkinter text attributes
• t.b. listed Data representation

---

For each application, the user shall create some configuration files (can be done by hand) which specify

• attributes for class Review (aka review questions)
• attributes for class Proposal (aka area)
• range of values/list of values for these attributes -- as numerical values 0:k_j (for property j)
• for each rectangle/text attribute that we use, a dictionary that maps numerical values 0:k to a list of properties acceptable for the attribute
  • e.g. for fill, the numerical values will be mapped to colors
  • for width, they will be mapped to points, etc.

Notes to add in the user manual

NOTE for Mac users. On my Mac book Pro, no combination works for "right clicking" on a reviewed item. I connect a classic mouse and use the middle button. (Murray: It should be working now, and it works on my MacBook. I used the double finger to touch the touchpad. But the window user should click the scroll of the mouse.) excellent --> keeping it for user manual
