12 months ago @ariel-phet recommends an investigation to see if this is pretty straight forward (like an hour or two). Most likely the undo button would go right next to the decay button (maybe on the right). You still would only undo the most recent decay (so pressing the button n times quickly doesn't stack up for a larger undo).

11 months ago I see @Luisav1 committed above, and there is one TODO. @Luisav1, can you please take a look at this patch and see if it removes the TODO in a good enough way?

11 months ago Ahhh, @Luisav1 helped me understand the problem better, it is about the chart intro screen's fade in/out, not the nucleon type change.
@Luisav1 here is a patch that cleans up some of the workarounds in your commit, and adds a TODO where we should try out deferring.

11 months ago Taking a look now.
zepumph
commented
11 months ago Ok. @Luisav1, the weirdness is in that we were depending on the a model step to add the new particle to the atoms. Is there a way that we could not animate it and then not rely on the animation ending emitter?
Right now the hack I exchanged your hack for is stepping the model, but there must be a way to just add the particle immediately to the particle atom from the stack. Isn't that how we support the initial count query parameters?
Luisav1
commented
11 months ago @zepumph You're right! In the commit above we're now using addNucleonImmediatelyToAtom() to add the new particle and I use fadeAnimation still to fade it in.
For the removal of the old particle though it's harder since we want to fade it out before removal so removeNucleonImmediatelyFromAtom() wouldn't work as it is. So I first fade the particle out then use animateAndRemoveParticle() to remove the particle at the end of the fade animation.
zepumph
commented
11 months ago But the removal doesn't matter too much since it is sync removed from the particleAtom, (which is where the mass is changed). Right?
Luisav1
commented
11 months ago Oh right, yes, that's correct. The old particle is removed from the particleAtom with extractParticle(), followed almost immediately by addNucleonImmediatelyToAtom. Which is why even though the mass number changes, it is rapid enough that nothing in the particleAtom changes afterward to cause the undo button to hide again.

11 months ago Based on a slack conversation of the buttons placement: Ariel Paul 6:54 PM I think the undo button is working well. I cannot say I love the placement. Things just feel a bit unbalanced. I wonder if it would work to center the decay button above the partial chart. I think the undo button would still fit within the panel. Or alternately move the undo button to be more in line with the decay equation? So center the Decay button above the partial chart (instead of the left alignment it has now, and then move the undo button above the decay button, more associated with the decay equation).
Here are some very rough patches (since they both have issues with stringTest=dynamic) for the undo button placement.
Patch and picture of the undo button beside the decay button:
Patch and picture of undo button on top of decay button:
I think with string lengths varying for 'Decay', it would be nicer to have the undo button be above the Decay button.

11 months ago Meeting with @zepumph, there are three things we should know and try for the button placement.

Problem description For https://github.com/phetsims/qa/issues/977, I think it would be useful to have an undo button on the Chart Intro screen like there is on the Decay screen. Sometimes, after pressing the Decay button, my eyes are focused on the Nuclide Chart panel and I miss what is happening to the particles.
It looks like there is room next to the Decay button for it (but not sure how dynamic locale would affect that).
