histogram: drag the mouse to change binwidth; resize heights #62

Open yihui opened 13 years ago

yihui commented 13 years ago

why do we need these features?

  1. Arrows Up and Down can change the binwidth; what is the special advantage of dragging mouse?
  2. Is resizing the height of the layer limits supposed to alleviate the effects of those dominating bars? (so that we can see smaller counts more clearly)

Yihui,

we need multiple ways to access the same features, in particular, we need visual cues of where changes can be made as well as hints to what the changes are - putting functionality on keys should always be just a first step to try out functionality - it's usually not a good final solution.

Finally I realized what this really meant... much easier than I imagined; will probably do this in milestone 1.0
