Data visualization: pseudo-log scale #56

Open paulmueller opened 5 years ago

paulmueller commented 5 years ago

As mentioned in https://github.com/ZELLMECHANIK-DRESDEN/dclab/issues/55#issuecomment-439354014, it would make sense to think about a pseudo-log scale for

RTDCBase.get_downsampled_scatter
RTDCBase.get_kde_contour
RTDCBase.get_kde_scatter

The pseudo-log scale should be able to take into account negative values.

Ideas:

biexponential: https://www.flowjo.com/learn/flowjo-university/flowjo/before-flowjo/59
linear for negative values, logarithmic for positive values

@PinkShnack @maxschloegel This one is not anymore a good-first-issue, because it might involve more convoluted coding and dealing with KDEs in different scenarios. Also, tests will have to be extremely rigorous. Implementing this in dclab would already be really good. The implementation in Shape-Out 2 would then again be not so straight forward.
