Modular-ize shaders between non-spatial and spatial vegetation. #7

Closed TaylorMutch closed 7 years ago

TaylorMutch commented 8 years ago

We currently try to use the same shaders between the spatial and non-spatial runs for vegetation. Due to the differences in placement constraints (non-spatial is informed by various exterior factors, including elevation and potentially slope and other factors; spatial is informed directly from stratum raster data), we should separate the two.

However, the code is largely the same except for a couple if-then statements. It may be useful to do some sort of modular setup similar to what the three.js library does for specifying it's shaders.

Now that we are running the visualization completely with spatial inputs (with non-spatial options), we no longer need to have a distinction between what we show for a non-spatial run and a spatially explicit run.
