mobility summaries: no data #218

Closed jshslsky closed 12 years ago

Can we add a different color when there is no data for a particular time period instead of showing error?

E.g., I turn mobility off when I am at home and those time periods show up as gray (error) so it's confusing.

What color(s) do you have in mind for representing missing data?

I default any form of errors to gray with the notion that any missing data or classification categorically falls under "ERROR". Should missing data be a darker gray, or black?

How about a lighter gray?

Due to the way the distance and geoduration estimations work, changing this is not advisable because it would make the parser code more prone to errors.

Although having a "no data" color would benefit the Temporal Summary plot, the geoduration estimation that supports the plot requires padding "ERROR" modes to missing data at varying time intervals to perform a best-effort noise reduction.
