Description
This PR enhances the readability, maintainability, and onboarding process for the
geoplot.py file by introducing thorough and well-organized inline comments. The intention is to
make the code more readable for new contributors and to present clear context surrounding
data flow, geospatial logic, and CesiumJS integration — without changing any functionality.
Summary of Changes
Code Review & Documentation
• Conducted a line-by-line review of geoplot.py to seek out sections which were not very clear.
• Provided contextual inline comments to make clear:
o Purpose and intent of each function
o Process of simulation data flow through steps of transformation
o Most critical logic in the extraction of coordinate/property
o Building up of GeoJSON structure for geographic representation
o Insertion of simulation data into a custom-made HTML template
o How CesiumJS actually displays the animated 3D globe from synthesized data
Added Comments To
• Simulation state parsing and transformation handling functions
• GeoJSON feature creation blocks
• HTML + Cesium output templating logic
• Timestamp animation configuration and handling
Functional Changes
• No change to logic, data structures, or output.
• Documentation-centric enhancement only intended to enhance developer comprehension.
Why This Matters
By thoroughly documenting the functioning of geoplot.py, this PR:
• Lowers the learning curve for new contributors
• Simplifies future enhancements and debugging
• Supports best practices in maintainable open-source codebases
• Supports long-term scalability and ease of collaboration
