`barplots`: TSV/CSV download should contain relative abundances #97

Open nbokulich opened 6 years ago

nbokulich commented 6 years ago

Improvement Description This would be consistent with what is shown in the barplots and is more useful than absolute counts (e.g., if a user wants to download and generate the same plots outside of QIIME 2).

I think this also fits in with the idea of downloading the current view-state as a CSV (I don't think there's an existing issue for that either).

:+1:, I think we should support both absolute and relative frequencies

thermokarst commented 6 years ago

This recently came up on the forum.

This feature is useful. Is there a time table?

thermokarst commented 5 years ago

@qins - no, this is pretty low on our priority list since the relative abundance can be calculated directly from the absolute abundance values. If you need help with this calculation please open a new topic at https://forum.qiime2.org. Thanks!

qins commented 5 years ago

I calculated the relative abundance with a script. But many users may want a to-end solution. Thank you for the reply, and the excellent work :-)

Why the CSV file downloaded from taxa-bar-plot shows fewer entities than the real sequences? In this case, this table is only part of the feature table. How can we get a complete absolute abundance and a relative abundance (with taxonomy) table?

Hi @KatherineXUE please get in touch on the QIIME 2 forum for support questions. Thanks!
