Enhancement: Make better use of space with bespoke analytics UIs #12226

Open corywatilo opened 2 years ago

I realize we have analytics UIs standardized, but it might be worth making custom UIs for different visualization options.

Example area for improvement

Let's use the pie chart as an example. This design doesn't feel terribly useful. (On my 13" MacBook Pro at highest resolution, I can't see any of the breakdown data.)

Toggling the legend is a little better, but also isn't super useful since paths are essentially truncated (by running off the screen).

Suggestion

A bespoke UI for the pie chart could look something like this:

  1. Pie chart stays within viewport
  2. Breakdown column is scrollable
  3. Hovering a pie segment highlights the row (and vice versa)
  4. Could probably reduce vertical padding in results to fit more rows

This is obviously a very simple example, but given it's likely a common use case, I wonder if it's worth creating more bespoke Uis rather than just going for the most scalable layout?
