Histogram sound can take a long time #169

Closed matthew-blackman closed 6 months ago

matthew-blackman commented 6 months ago

While reviewing #163, @catherinecarter noted that the histogram sound can take a long time for wide distributions (sometimes close to 6 seconds). We'd like to discuss ways to do one or more of the following:

Reduce the length of the total histogram sound without sacrificing quality
Add a way for a user to stop an ongoing histogram sound

Let's talk more about how we can improve the UX for the histogram sound.

I changed the play button to a play/stop and I really like it. Nice recommendation @catherinecarter! This is a more flexible solution than speeding up the sound. Feel free to close if all looks good to you.

This has been reviewed and tested. The button is working well, and has the correct enabled behavior on all screens. Nice work! Closing.
