Add Option for Data Number Markings on Spatial Layers (without Contours) #473

Open jamesdoyle21 opened 2 years ago

jamesdoyle21 commented 2 years ago

Give the user the ability to overlay data labels to spatial layers. This is just like adding contour lines without the lines. So allows the user to have an idea on what the magnitude is just by looking at the map and not opening the legend. Like soundings on a maritime chart.

Similar to a temperature plot that weather news stations show

this would have to be done w/ pyxms or zms right? Otherwise we would need to request data at basically every point on the map in order to find where good places for the numbers to be shown.

Yup this is a potential pyxms feature that was already started by a former employee so I threw it up in case we got time to do it

mpiannucci commented 2 years ago

See https://github.com/asascience/pyXMS/pull/67 for WIP from before I started here haha

ndellicarpini commented 2 years ago

Do we want to put this level of effort into pyxms? This and https://github.com/asascience/ott-coops/issues/222 would be good improvements to pyxms, but would be very time consuming.

Lets hold off for the moment
