Way to pass in filters #26

Open lmeyerov opened 9 years ago

( + @thibaudh + @briantrice )

This will have to wait for the API to support it first (...), but I'd like to write something like

g
   .data(nodes=..., edges=...)
   .bind(...)
   .filter('correlation > 10 & degree > 7')
   .plot()

The key is that all data should be passed into the viz so I can interactively change the filters later. (If I didn't want that behavior, I could filter on the data argument.)

Assigning Brian, as it seems more him than Quinn.

Low priority for now. May go up in urgency as @padentomasello @thibaudh and I experiment w/ dashboards/notebooks.

There's a bit on me as well, since filtering currently assumes that a non-filtered world has at one point existed. I think it's purely a backend assumption, but complications could arise. E.g., not being able to have the first VBO received already filtered. I'll keep an eye on this as well.

As long as we pass the metadata along somehow (expression strings or structures), we should be able to express and manipulate this at some point, thank you.

iframe api supports this, but not yet pygraphistry, will keep open for now
