Add Compare Scan view Access button?

• Is it possible to open a scan in compare view from the main view page?
• Make the Compare Scan page a bit prettier by adopting styling consistent with the app

When you say main view I think of two potential locations:

• The projects page where one can see all of the experiments and scans in a given project
• The scan view where one sees three different views of the same scan

The latter page has the navigation drawer which holds all the experiments/scans of a specific project in it also.

The experiment/scans list in the nav drawer on the scan page is actually the same component found on the projects page - ExperimentsView.vue.

The other place we could have the option to open the compare view is on the scan view's main display area (where there are the three vtkviewers and the control panel underneath). In this case we could place a simple "Open in Compare View" button on the control panel itself.

Maybe we should split this issue into two separate issues? One for prettification of Compare Scan view and one for adding the compare view button to the main app?

I made this issue the Access button issue. Most of the time, I am thinking users would access the planning CT from the Scan View (3 views of same scan) and then move from there to the compare View. So we want an "open in Compare View" button somewhere on the Scan view. There might be a reason to have the access button, to go to an empty Compare View directly on the project page and the user could then decide which 3 scans to put in. Let's start with accessing from the scan view and I am OK if this is as far as we get.
