Multi dot plot #208

Open alancleary opened 5 years ago

alancleary commented 5 years ago

Generating a dot plot for each context in the search view relative to the query track is useful but it generates so many plots that they have been put in their own "Dot Plots" page, which limits simultaneous comparison with the other viewers. For this reason, and with pan-genomics coming down the pike, the dot plot viewer should be expanded to support multiple point sets that share a single (y) axis. This will make the viewer succinct enough that it could possibly be moved into the main search view with the other visualizations. It would also enable easier comparison of the different plots.

Commit 784cc97cb66a8ef844fe65bf1e8caa11a753051f implemented a prototype of a multi dot plot viewer. Currently the labels are quite cramped, as are the dot plots themselves. Regarding the later, there should be a min-width option that the user can use to prevent the plots from being completely uninterpretable. Perhaps mousing over a plot will expand its width to match its height.
