Summary page layout requests #25

Closed sbailey closed 5 years ago

sbailey commented 5 years ago

Here are some layout requests for the summary page. These are motivated by two things:

Reduce the width of the sky plot and 2 progress plots so that they can fit in a single row of a window that is ~1000 pixels wide. Consider moving the toolbars to the top instead of the sides to help with this.

Reduce the width of the colorbars on the plots that have them (maybe; let's see how that looks).

Reduce the amount of whitespace within and between the gray section title bars so that more content fits vertically on a single screen without scrolling.

Update the various observing conditions plots to all have the same size, matched to the size of the progress plots too. Experiment with a grid layout such that the sky plot is ~2x wider than the progress plots, so that when the window fits those 3 in a single row, the observing conditions histograms fit 4 across. See https://960.gs and https://960.gs/demo for some potential dimensions to work with, though targeting a 960 pixel-wide window might be a bit narrow; we'll have to experiment and see. e.g. something like:

The titles of the histograms are redundant with the x-axis labels. I'm inclined to drop the titles, but that might require adjusting the padding between plots so that the labels clearly go with the axis of the plot above instead of looking like it might be the title of the plot below.

Drop "distribution" y-axis labels of the histograms. If we are going to label the y-axis of the histograms, it would be more informative to have "counts per (binsize)" but that may just use up valuable horizontal space.

Histograms probably don't need any of the tools. Let's try removing those to save space.

AIRMASS -> Airmass, TRANSP -> Atmospheric transparency, SEEING -> Seeing.

All of these requests may be adjusted after we try them out and see what they look like.

Requests have been implemented across several PRs. Closing this issue now.
