Looking at the source code from parcoords here, it looks like the syntax should be pc.flip("axes name")
or pc.flip(["axis1", "axis2", ...])
. This is slightly different from the original syntagmatic syntax which was pc.flipAxes()
, more info here. Let me know if this works, I haven't tested it, but it's a feature I plan to create a parasol wrapper for.
I think this functionality is hard-coded in parcoords as an "on-click" event (it's present even in our most basic examples), so I don't know that we actually have the power to disable it right now. This might be a question and potential request for our friends at parcoords.
Thanks! For some reason pc.flip("axes name")
is working for me but not pc.flip(["axis1", "axis2", ...])
. I can make the former method work, so that's not too much of a problem but not ideal of course.
It's okay if we can't disable the "on-click" flipping, I doubt many users will even know the flipping feature exists if we don't advertise it.
Agreed though. There could definitely be some improvements on the Parcoords end.
Welp. It turns out that when I use pc.flip("axis name")
brushing stops working... It's always something! Could you put this as a top priority (just below setAxesLayout()
? Axis flipping is an essential feature for visualizing the objective space.
Classic. Does it break all brushes or just linked brushes? In either case, could you provide a brief example?
I'll put this at the top of my list and also reach out to the parcoords team about providing the option to make flipping non-interactive.
Here ya go:
var ps = Parasol(data)('.parcoords')
ps.charts.forEach(
(pc) => {
.flip('rel. (-)')
.render()
.updateAxes(0);
}
)
When I try to brush the flipped axis, all the polylines disappear: I also get the following error which is associated with implementing the Parcoords methods:
The weird thing is that when I interactively flip the axis back to its original orientation, the brushing works again.
Update: In parcoords, the correct syntax to flip one or more axes is pc.flipAxes(["x", "y"])
. The same now holds for the parasol wrapper of the function.
The issue with polylines disappearing on flipped axes is tracked in BigFatDog/parcoords-es#60.
Sometime soon, I'll submit a PR to parcoords making interactive flipping configurable; similar to how rotateLabels
works currently.
@joshhjacobson, do you know how to flip axes in Parcoords without a mouse click? I can't figure out how to do it programmatically, only how to do it by clicking on the axes.
Also, do you know if there is a way to turnoff interactive flipping of axes? I want to put a preferred direction arrow in (and therefore, don't want the user to be able to mess with the axis orientation).
