Hard to discern point features in Rapid Assist #946

Open eneerhut opened 1 year ago

eneerhut commented 1 year ago

I have Rapid Assist enabled and chose the address dataset in Alexandria, VA. The selected point feature is highlighted with a yellow dashed circle which is not very distinct next to the yellow address point. Could we:

  1. Choose a different colour to highlight the currently selected feature?
  2. Could we enlarge the selected point to make it easier to see which one is selected OR auto-zoom to the selected point. With auto-zoom the user could zoom out again if desired, but would automatically be taken to a more suitable zoom level after choosing the address.

See image below. It is quite hard to tell which address is selected. image

yeah this is #813 , sort of.. I agree, I'd like to improve the styling of the selection halos. When we converted from the old svg/d3 renderer, we also lost out on having that pulsing animation - it's something I'd like to reimplement to make things easier to see.

2. Could we enlarge the selected point to make it easier to see which one is selected OR auto-zoom to the selected point. With auto-zoom the user could zoom out again if desired, but would automatically be taken to a more suitable zoom level after choosing the address.

For this, you can also try the Z key to zoom in on whatever is selected - then pressing Z again will zoom back out to where you were before.

Yes this definitely closely related to #813. The pulsating animation would help big time. I wonder if you could also draw attention to the highlighted feature by lowering the opacity of all other features in the assist layer. If that's not graphically intensive, it'd be a nice visual cue in addition to any colour changes.

Thanks for the Z hotkey tip. I don't think I have used it in Rapid before.
