Create distribution charts #497

These charts should include both bar and line charts as well as cover both PDF and CDF with different bucket sizes. I am all ears for a UI/UX proposal here.

@connor-makowski @mrkwanzaa Any suggestions for improvement? Also, I was wondering if it is possible to make all of the bars/line segments the same color, as that is usually standard for PDF/CDF charts.

This looks really good, and they're working great! I have a few small notes but overall excellent job.

Grouping doesn't work after you get rid of the default grouping. Just adding entries for them in chartMaxGroupings found in utils/enums.js should fix this.
The default number of buckets probably shouldn't be one, since you'd never want one bucket. Maybe update this to default at 10 and set 2 as the minimum.
The buckets slider label covers the toolbar, or goes above the chart if it's hidden. I'd move this down and maybe add a text label to indicate to users what it does.

As far as the coloring goes, you can specify the coloring parameter when you base the data to the BaseChart component, or do something more custom (eg add a colorSame prop to BaseChart) if you feel that's cleaner from a code side.

Looking good so far.

Regarding the colors, lets think about that a bit more.

I think we will need a new always available grouping structure (like None - which is really just one big group) for each element - meaning each element is its own group. For naming, we might have something like All which is the current None and None which is actually individual elements.

This could be useful for all charts considering we now have filters per chart and can filter down to very granular data.

@mrkwanzaa I could see a number of potential rammifications here, but if we default no grouping selection to All then I think we could avoid any breaking changes. This however represents a hardcoded element. Do you see any other potential for breaking changes here?

@connor-makowski @mrkwanzaa I've made a lot of adjustments to the distribution charts; let me know if you have any additional thoughts! Thanks.

connor-makowski commented 2 months ago

Those are coming along really well!!! It is making me rethink some of our future charting developments. The only thing I see left for this issue is figuring out how to better represent the buckets from a UI perspective and where to place the num buckets slider.

mrkwanzaa commented 2 months ago

I'm also a big fan of how these are turning out. The only obvious issues I'm seeing is that if you subgroup the legend overlaps with the buckets slider, and sometime the pdf/cdf dropdown starts scrolling (I'm guessing this is related to #502 ).
