Kalzium Contribution

Hi

The spectrum lines that are missing are actually not in the code but in a
xml. Look in kalium repo under libscience/data/. There is the file
"spectra.xml". These data files belong actually to the blue obelisk data
repository project. But in the last update i did't find the spectra data.
So I am not sure of the current state of this project.
Anyway, you could fix that file in kalzium and upload the diff it to
https://reviewboard.kde.org. I could have a look at it.

Since your mentioned bug has not much to do with cpp I would have another
suggestion: 334154 <https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334154>.
I basically wanted to add a timer after the transition that then signals
the refit of the periodic table. Start at looking at
src/psetable/periodictableview.h. The slot would be "fitPseInView()".
This might give some insight into the qt signal/slot stuff:-)

And thanks for your interest in Kalzium!

Regards
Etienne
