describe changes in ROI Shape transforms

[mtbc]

This new blog entry addresses https://trello.com/c/9YhVKx4U/449-roi-transforms by warning of the breaking changes caused by ome/openmicroscopy#4672.

Albeit with broken formatting one can get a view of the text at https://github.com/mtbc/blog/blob/transforms/_posts/2016-06-15-shape-transforms.md. For proper formatting use Jekyll locally.

Looks alright to me! 👍

[mtbc]

Thank you @dominikl! Much appreciated, as you also reviewed the corresponding PR. After @sbesson and @hflynn have taken a look I'll copy over to gdoc for @jrswedlow but fine if all that's after PotN.

[sbesson]

Worth including 2D to define the limit of the transformations?

Couple of thoughts post review:

• generally on the review process
  • I needed Add pagination for Jekyll upgrade #31 to build this page locally using Jekyll 3.1.6. The pagination gem is explicitly included as a dependency on the GH pages side (see Jekyll 3.0.x github/pages-gem#175). Is it worth reincluding for our own development/review workflow or are there workarounds?
  • I also needed to rename this page to prevent using a future date - I assume it's a blog feature
• while we mention Java client upgrade, do we have/need to collect more information on OMERO.web?
• once cleared, I think some of the information in this blog post could also be copied over to the ome.xsd hence the generated Oxygen documentation for the schema and the OMERO developer documentation

[hflynn]

Now I've got this building locally using the same method as Seb, it's looking good thanks! I second the suggestion that we add a link to the developer docs once we publish this. I leave you to decide what action is appropriate re: OMERO.web but from my side, good to be cleared by Jason and then published with an appropriate date change.

[hflynn]

P.S. have merged the pagination gem addition so everyone with the latest version of jekyll will be able to build locally once they fetch the update.

OMERO.web: from my impression of the Python and JavaScript code I'm also fairly optimistic about it: I think it's already using matrices of a corresponding form. I just mentioned the Java as an example to show that the speculation is founded!

I hadn't realized the local staging issues, my apologies for that trouble. To allow people to avoid Jekyll issues entirely I've now staged the blog myself: for this PR see http://users.openmicroscopy.org.uk/~mtbcarroll/vpn/blog/data-model/future-plans/2016/06/15/shape-transforms/. @sbesson: You'll need to VPN to see it.

[hflynn]

@mtbc when you get chance, can you update the filename date to 2016-06-20 and then I'll get this out next week

[mtbc]

Will do so later today.
