Added instances to preserve data between 1994 and 2000 #3

Closed RosaWagner closed 2 years ago

RosaWagner commented 2 years ago

I tried something on my side :) It does the interpolation thing, but doesn't preserve the "1992" data in the source.

RosaWagner commented 2 years ago

I don't know if it will be very clear but this is what I did:

dancoull commented 2 years ago

Thanks for trying Rosa :) So adding the extra masters didn't help to keep the retrograde part. Is there a way to view the file without merging into the main?

dancoull commented 2 years ago

Maybe it's still better to go with the original solution of an "average" instance?

RosaWagner commented 2 years ago

yes, you can download my branch https://github.com/RosaWagner/ClimateCrisis/tree/add-instances

dancoull commented 2 years ago

Hey Rosa, finally checked out the file :) So when you said it didn't preserve the "1992" data, that's because it's now preserved as the master "2000" if I understand correctly?

RosaWagner commented 2 years ago

Euh… yes? I don't know anymore haha I think I meant, the date "1992" doesn't appear in the axis mapping anymore — which isn't a particular bad thing imo

dancoull commented 2 years ago

Haha :) don't worry it confuses me too. I agree tho, that mapping doesn't matter much as long as it represents what the users are supposed to see. I'll merge it now. Thanks for helping out and being patient :)

dancoull commented 2 years ago

Also meant to ask if you had an estimate on how long it will take to go live, are we still waiting for the custom axis registration?

RosaWagner commented 2 years ago

Ah yeah, Dave told me the axis registration is planned on 2022 1st quarter. So not before few month unfortunately.

dancoull commented 2 years ago

Cool, thanks! It's more the design agency we worked with keeps asking when it will be live :) Did we miss it for this year or does it just take long?
