120053 - Tinderbox: graphs need an annotation mechanism

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Webtools Graveyard :: Tinderbox, enhancement)

Description

[Chris McAfee]

There should be a way of annotating the tbox performance graphs,
much like one stars the build in the main tinderbox view.
The graphs use gnuplot, and we might possibly use these two
features:

  set label "foo" at x,y
  set arrow from x,y to x2,y2

x would be the time for the tbox case, we should probably
have some kind of offset so we don't write text over the data.

A primitive solution would be a simple whiteboard, or possibly
labeling certain points and having a key describing the comments
about each point.

future, off 098 radar

This would be great to have. I think, also, that the comments need to persist
for a long period of time, not just be lost like tinderbox stars.

What about linking to bug comments? Have a bug for each perf graph, and allow
people to somehow link a point in time on the graph to a comment in a bug (or
maybe just an individual bug).

Tinderbox isn't maintained anymore. Closing.
