Interactive figure-filtering of samples #9

Open mfitzp opened 10 years ago

mfitzp commented 10 years ago

Some mechanism (specific plots or other) of filtering data visually would be great. The simplest implementation would be the ability to create regions in a scatter plot that are then selected and output as a particular dataset (output port). In this way it would be possible, e.g. to use a PCA to filter data (cf. FACS data filtering).

How this would work on bar or line plots is another thing - or how to interpret the selection in a sensible way.

Implemented in v3.0.2 with commit a6f964335a1c9e1ac3537ec8cbbdf31a76cce8a6 all tools can now use selections from figure outputs for configuration. Selection of outputs can be implemented (e.g. in PCA)

This would be better if it were non-tool specific (e.g. the default visual plots would all allow data filtering in this way). Will probably rely on a sub-tool implementation if it happens.
