Use different symbols for APOGEE spectra and query matches in Finding Chart #17

Closed raddick closed 8 years ago

raddick commented 9 years ago

In the Finding Chart, we have the ability to mark objects that match some queries. These are marked in the image with upside-down purple triangles. The problem is that APOGEE spectra are also marked with upside-down triangles. The APOGEE triangles are white rather than purple, but it's not good web practice to provide information using color alone. It's confusing for all users, but deal-breaking for colorblind users.

We should choose a different symbol for marking the query matches.

Update: @deoyani is working on this in her branch of the code in her dev space. See

Thanks Deoyani!

Seems that Deoyani fixed this already.

Yellow diamonds are marked on top of apogee objects. Tested on version 1.8.1. Closing...
