Taxonomy Comparison - Character Comparison - need 'un-matched' character column #427

Open ghost opened 8 years ago

There is a big difference between character/states that are unique because they are DIFFERENT than the species being compared and 'unique' because it is simply not present.

I think 3 columns total would be good. 'Unique' : characters that occur on both sides that have different character states 'Un-matched': characters that do not occur on the other side 'all': all characters available for the species.

in Image, torus_shape, is unique on each side, but torus_coloration on the left, should NOT be unique, as that character is not present on the other side. [torus_fixation should be in 'all']

With this we would have in the middle character overlap table only the character states that are exactly the same and disregard a similarity measurement, right?
