FlowSphera 1.9.0 release notes
Path analysis comes alive: five map views. (+3 more changes)
- Path analysis comes alive: five map views. A switch over the map: Classic (as before), Lines (the same places, thin lines, the traffic running along them as light), Stars (the Point of View in the middle, the neighbours on rings around it by hops, comets on arcs, a ring with each device's share of the traffic), Metro (stations and lines at 0 / 45 / 90 degrees, the packets as trains — clean from across the room) and River (columns by hops from the internet, bands as wide as their traffic with strands flowing by direction). The motion is the data: each link's traffic moves the way it really goes, as dense and as fast as its rate over the last 2 minutes (live) or the period's average, cyan from the internet, orange to it, violet inside; gaps and links without traffic stay dashed. Hover, the tooltips, a click to look from a device and the path search work in every view; interface labels are placed where they overlap nothing. Light on the computer: one canvas, 30 frames a second at most, the still part drawn once; nothing moves in a hidden tab or with reduced motion.
- Each user's own view. A lamp marks your default view; «Make it my default» keeps it with your account, so it opens the same in any browser — a wall screen can stay on Stars while a desk keeps Classic.
- Wall mode on Path analysis. The full-screen button next to the title, as on the Overview.
- Path analysis: the internet is a compact sign. The big cloud over the map is now the same small «Internet» pill as in the waiting animation; the map gets its top third back, the WAN links go up into it as before.
