MAP: Bug with overlay on supporting plots of bubble maps... needs UX discussion

[danicahelb]

I'm looking at wildlife futures data on qa.restricted.clinepi

I configured the bubble markers to show prevalence of rickettsia: "Pan-rickettsia, by qPCR result" = yes/(yes+no)

I made a histogram of "Date collected" and then wanted to overlay "Pan-rickettsia, by qPCR result"

"Pan-rickettsia, by qPCR result" is a categorical variable with values = yes, no, redo

However, the markers have been configured as proportions of yes/(yes+no) and the legend shows continuous values.

When i click the radio button to add the overlay, i get this error message:

Questions that need UX discussion:

• Do we want to disable the overlay from plots supporting bubble markers? What should we do so that the user is not confused as to why the overlay is disabled from bubble marker maps?
• Do we want to stop porting over supporting plots made on donut marker maps to supporting plots of bubble marker maps?
• Disable porting over of ALL supporting plots, or just those where the overlay is turned on? Or turn OFF the overlay?
• Should we consider allowing the overlay and showing distinct values?

What I had remembered was that we would not offer the overlay for bubble floaters and floaters were specific to their map modes. Since that's not what happened, maybe @bobular or @dmfalke can comment on the best plan of action given the short time we now have to release.. Then we could file a separate ticket to revisit this after release.

I think we can disable overlays for floaters in bubble mode. Floaters are not shared across map types.

FYI, I made this issue for the immediate term: https://github.com/VEuPathDB/web-monorepo/issues/492

@dmfalke FYI if a floater is made in donut map type, it is currently being shared to the bubble map type

[dmfalke]

I'm not able to reproduce

[danicahelb]

@dmfalke seems you are correct, plots are NOT getting ported between map types

Okay, great. Thanks!
