Rethink the distance histogram #10

Open alexsb opened 11 years ago

As I mentioned at some point I'm not to sure whether this provides too much value but uses a lot of space. This could potentially be replaced by a D3 slider implementation, where the distribution could be shown as a density plot.

This would free up space to be devided amongst the 3D and the focus view.

That is an interesting point. Most proteins are spherical or box-like in nature. This would imply that for all the amino acids in these proteins, the histogram would be a bell curve.

However, I think we should think about the layout of the proposed change before we jump into it. There's something aesthetically appealing about how everything looks right now.

Yea, I'm not suggesting to do this right now (as you can see by the milestone), but we should re-evaluate this as we go along.

I would actually like to ultimately move to a state where we see only the context sequence and 3d. Move everything else to on demand floating windows. [ chords] [context] [ heat ] [ 3d ]

For its importance the 3d gets very little space right now. Then let them zoom/pan/scroll (especially when we get to longer proteins).

I know how shocking it must be to hear me say this! :)
