Upset plot ideas #502

Open pvangay opened 3 years ago

Had some thoughts related to the upset plot and wanted to jot them down.

order/group by # of overlapping omic types

I saw this recently and really liked it. visually it's easier to find what you're looking for, but could also help in aiding users to understand what we're trying to show here. for our case, y-axis would be samples with 1 omic type, samples with 2 omic types, etc.

consider flipping x and y axes

So that the omic types are spelled out fully without a need for abbreviations. I know we have a legend on the dev site now but still could be considered.

FYI: @jeffbaumes @subdavis @kfagnan

We currently have the upset plot ordered by sample counts but I do agree it would make things clearer to organize by how many omics types we have.
