Namesets is a way of indexing by association. Tree structures give way to automated sliders that track selections and offer simple navigation. Plug-in menus and devices use names and [computer code] to automate tasks. Originally devised to manage visibility and highlighting of components and scenes in Google's Sketchup, the latest development is intended to provide digital support for any human activity. |
The window is re-sizable to show wider or more columns and rows. Words move into focus on the first click and take action on the second. Input is minimised by storing unique words and re -presenting them for copy/edit. Each name maintains a record of the properties of the entity it represents, which always include names for type, genus and instance, but can be extended to include data for appearance, size, position, timing, cost, status, links and so on. Each name's record also includes a backlink array so that its data is accessible via many different associations. |
Namesets are made with web development computer languages, with records filed in JavaScript object notation (json), providing opportunities for multimedia output directly or via bridges such as Sketchup's web dialog. Namesets is a HyperText Application except when used as a plugin to Sketchup. Copyright 2007 - 2010 Chris Glasier Coding advice: Jim Foltz Code JSLint checked |
