Per-night page layout requests #26

Closed sbailey closed 5 years ago

sbailey commented 5 years ago

People liked these surveyqa pages enough that they suggested that during operations we should update the current night page after every new exposure, and having that page permanently displayed on one of the control room monitors. :) That means that we'll want to fit as much as possible on a single page without scrolling, without it becoming unreadable or ugly. Layout suggestions:

Reduce whitespace of upper title and navigation bar. Perhaps move navigation to be next to the title instead of under it.

Try moving the sky plot toolbar to the top instead of side. Drop the toolbars of the histograms.

Make horizontal size of the skyplot graph match the horizontal size of the timeseries plots so that they nicely visually align. Ditto for horizontal size of exposure type counts plot and the histograms. Similarly match the vertical size of the plots that are next to each other, something like:

SEEING -> Seeing, AIRMASS -> Airmass, etc.

Drop "Distribution" y-axis label on histograms (though in general the rule of "always label your axes" remains a good rule, even if I'm requesting to violate it here).

We will likely need to iterate on the balance between size, readability, and visual appeal, so work on this separately from issue #25 (summary page layout) so that progress on one doesn't get bogged down by iterations on the other.
