Dasha Merge Overview #3

[Guest guest]

Overview of coming "Dasha Merge" feature Part 3 of 3

-------------------

 

In this large picture you see a number of things.

 

In the top section, you see one window opened on another. This is to

show you "instantiation", which means, that this new version, allows you

to open multiple of the same window, and they all work independently.

So, you can have one window merging your dashas, and another merging you

with your spouse or whomever and so on, or just separate different

people. Only memory limits this "instances" of a window or windows, the

reasonable limits being something like 40 windows at a time say, so

there really is no limit that will actually affect you. The new version

is very powerful in windowing in general.

 

Then, the top window is the results list. This is the merged dashas. I

am using the unfamiliar but dear to me "icon view". You can also have

the more familiar glyphs.

 

On that window, you see the expected start dates and times on the left,

then the dashas planets or signs glyphs or icons, then the totals for

the planets (signs lords are counted), then on the far right you see the

persons events entered previously if any showing on the appropriate

lines in the dashas.

 

Because you can merge up to six dashas, or repeat one, with various

settings, you could here examine 360 verse 365 (I'm adding more options

here probably), along with your events.

 

When you click on a line, a number of things happen. Firstly, in the

bottom of the window, you see where the planets were on that date, as if

it's an ephemeris. That's the black and colored square on the bottom of

the window in the top half of the picture.

 

RIght of that, you see a graph, which shows how the planets totalled in

terms of control on the clicked line. This is a visual that may or may

not be useful to you. I find it possibly helpful in a general sort of way.

 

In the lower half of this picture, there are 3 separate windows. From

left to right they are:

 

Just a chart window, currently showing my chart and "Specific Transits"

on the outter ring.

 

Middle window: The Pallette which controls chart windows.

 

Right: A standard dasha window. This is a highly responsive, very

functional, powerful, dasha window, which like many other key windows,

is instantiable, meaning, have as many open as you like, for the same or

different people. The controls on it are powerful.

 

The real reason these three windows are in the picture is to demonstrate

a key feature- the "Align all" feature. When I click on a line in the

top window, the Merge, all other windows linked to that person (me in

this case), currently open, are "Aligned" by the date on the line I

clicked upon. So, I clicked the line, and the outer wheel on the chart

window sprung to show the transits on that date, and the dasha window

hilited that date. The middle window, currently on the pane that

controls the outer ring, or "Spec Tran Pane" on the pallete, shows that date.

 

So, the end result of this, is that you can definitely merge dashas,

various dashas, from various people or one person, by lagna or moon (or

other possibly) and by 360 or 365 (or other), and this instantiable (you

can have many open) window or feature can send messages to and thus

align and control other windows.

 

You could have a whole family of persons charts and dashas open, then

merge them, then click on key events that affected the whole family, and

see how the transits and dashas of each person were running at the time.

Family research, group research, compatibility, and such things become

much more lucid.

 

I don't think anything comes close to these kinds of features and

functionality, and interface, ever seen in astrology software on Earth.

 

I'm proud of what I have been able to do. It's alot due to the advances

in programming technology, mainly "OOPS" or Object Oriented Programming

techniques, studying which is a good deal of what took this version so

long. But I think this is my astro swan song anyway, so it's worth it.

 

There are a number of features like this one in the new version, which I

feel are simply wonderful, amazing, inter-related, and revolutionary,

including simple things like how it manages your lists of charts. You

can expect this kind of modern, sophisticated and elegant interface

throughout. Things like inter-relativity, drag and drop,

multi-windowing, instantiation of features, and so on, are all fairly standard.
