  • Best version - Results on same page - side by side, green to purple shading, Fit
  • 'Old' Version - Results on separate page
  • v5 - Results on same page - side by side
  • v7 - Results on same page - side by side, font grayscale for match, Warning if no good fits,
• Matrix Layout
  • V3 - Results on same page, matrix version, use font shading for match, lines horizontal

Goals for This Version

• Complete interactive probabilistic key for North American Hypogymnia
• Ready for lichen-literate users (will not include quizzes or guided verison)

• nwlichens@gmail.com - check
• Windows Chrome - does not see background-color CSS commands
• Security/Error checking
  • setup logging/tracking
• Search
  • Allow unchecking of radio buttons

• Make sure display column correct - like "Lobes Separated" is not shown
• Rename "Options" to "Variations" in Glossary
• Account for coast region
• if no select char except region, account for this case
• add css styling
• Move to lichens.twinferntech.net
• Sample photos at 2 levels- thumbnails at 200px wide, images at 1000px wide, fullres at original res
• Security/Error checking
  • make sure all columns accounted for (has characteristic with a description column)
  • validate entered values for quantitative fields
• Search
  • If results are close, propose characteristics to look at. Show most different characters.
  • Possibly- color result characteristics based on probability? May be distracting.
  • Search on the fly- show most likely on the right
  • Allow modification of search or clearing of characteristics
  • Check links to characteristics
  • Add warnings if bad fit or invalid entry or if dependent characteristic chosen without choosing parent characteristic
• Species Pages
  • Slideshow/gallery for images at full resolution
  • Rearrange characteristics
  • Separate views - overview, morphology, chemistry, interesting facts
  • if no Soredia, don't show any Soredia details (H. heterophylla exmple)
  • Check links to characteristics

• Bayesian classifier
• Images - from Bruce
• Bruce's spreadsheet of species and characteristics
• Each worksheet in spreadsheet saved as csv:
  • v9-list.csv - uploaded 9-3-21
    
  • v7-list.csv
    
  • v7-map.csv
  • photolist.csv
• Script 'generate.pl' - runs only when spreadsheet changes
  • Reads in three csv files (need to strip non-species lines from list file - at bottom)
  • Generates species index page
  • Generates species pages
  • Generate slideshow for front page
  • Generate photo links for glossary
• Script 'select.cgi' - interactive CGI script for key
  • Read in two csv files
  • Calculates probabilities for booleans and quantitative characteristics across list of species
  • Displays most likely species
• Library 'keylib.pm' - contains shared subroutines and variables
• Static webpages
  • index.shtml - Front Page that includes slideshow of species
  • characteristics.shtml - Bruce's discussion of Hypogymnia characteristics with example photos
  • about.shtml - describes project
