hip.Experiment.from_iterable adds additional uid column #183

In your Colab example hip.Experiment.from_iterable adds additional uid column. Is it possible to remove it?

I found a fix:

exp = hip.Experiment.from_iterable(results)
exp.display_data(hip.Displays.PARALLEL_PLOT).update({'hide': ['uid']})
exp.display();

A bit inconvenient, but anyway HiPlot is very nice, thanks.

Hi Yes indeed that's something that has come up a lot, and your solution is the right way to fix it for now. It's useful to identify rows uniquely - but for basic use-cases it makes it less clear. I'm thinking about hiding it by default if not specified in the source data.
