Extended dataset information in plot legend #115

Open jmdkastro opened 9 years ago

jmdkastro commented 9 years ago

The legend of the plot should include an extra (small-font) line to indicate the specific dataset below each author. This will allow multiple datasets per author (or possibly also per paper).

This issue may need to branch out into a more substantial feature enhancement, e.g. linking the plot to a live data table.

The legend could be hierarchal. The original view is kept, but pressing on an author's name will yield a sub legend that allows you to specify which datasets should be shown. Distinguishing between the sets may be an issue.

jmdkastro commented 9 years ago

Great idea. On the super-author level, we could group into the four subsets obs/gal, obs/exgal, sim/gal, sim/exgal.

Of course, in the long run, the database will still become too full, so it's only a temporary solution.

How about a scroll bar only in the legend (i.e. not scroll the plot itself)? Could that be coded?

e-koch commented 9 years ago

There must be some way to do that. I think it will be something we will require at some point regardless.
