removing DALYs with as little removal as possible #1732

Closed robynstuart closed 6 years ago

robynstuart commented 6 years ago

David asked us to remove DALYs from the Optima HIV outputs. We don't want to remove them entirely because there is a good chance that we will be asked to reinstate them at some point, and moreover they are still useful for advanced back-end users. However, we have agreed to suppress any plotting output that displays DALYs. Therefore, I've made a very minimal change to the plotting code that prevents DALYs from being plotted.

To test, you can do the following:

from optima import demo
P = demo()

This should produce the standard plotting GUI, which includes a control panel with a list of available plots. On the develop branch, one of the items in this list is "HIV-related DALYs". On this branch, that item should not appear.

@gchadder3 could you please quickly review this?
