filter associations that are shown #4

Closed porosnie closed 4 years ago

porosnie commented 4 years ago

On a file such as 2004_v6, there are features that have many associations. This results in a very cluttered screen, dificult to analyse.

Would it be possible to implement a checkboxes that would allow to hide certain associations? For example, on the left side of the screen to have the list of all the associations that are shown (based on what is actually in the screen). When de-selecting on or more, the corrsponding association types would be hidden.

See the picture attached.

Yes, that's a good idea. However, adding it on the left side of the graph would be quite tricky to implement so I'd suggest instead to put an extra filter above it (where the rest of the filters exist at the moment) and allow to check/uncheck the available features from a dropdown list.

porosnie commented 4 years ago

That's OK. It would also be nice to have a "select/deselect all", as in Excel when you filter records.

antavelos commented 4 years ago

Sure!

@porosnie I'd like some clarification regarding the expanded associations:

  1. Should we add them in the checkbox list as well?
  2. If an association is deselected should we also hide its expanded child associations?
porosnie commented 4 years ago

I think that only the first level associations should be listed, not the expanded ones. If an association is de-selected, the whole branch (including eventually expanded associations) should be hidden.

@porosnie Done.

Having a filter with checkboxes on the filter area was trickier than I thought (considering some limitation of the used front-end framework) so I put the list on the area of the graph as you proposed.

This looks great. It works well on Donlon, but I would like to test it further. On the EV data set, sometimes it takes a long time to get the graph (for example for Navaids). Is it working faster when you run it locally?

antavelos commented 4 years ago

I'm afraid that when there are a lot of features about to display it takes some time to render them all..
