Navigate multiple trajectories for one model #112

Open blairlyons opened 3 years ago

blairlyons commented 3 years ago

Use Case

It would be nice if users could easily navigate between trajectories from the same model with different parameter sets.

Acceptance Criteria

Users can easily access multiple trajectories from the same model to compare their outputs.

Details

Models are run with different parameter sets, and often understanding the model requires observing the different trajectories for different value(s) of parameters. We have data for multiple trajectories with varied parameter sets for a few of the example models we've posted. There should be a way to quickly navigate between trajectories in a set while browsing the library.

Often modelers use matrices to visualize differences in an output across multiple trajectories. Each cell of the matrix could be a snapshot of the 3D view at a given timepoint in the trajectory (often at the end), or a small plot of a metric over time in each trajectory.

Currently only one trajectory can be associated with a card on the landing page, but it could be easier to see which trajectories are from the same model if they shared a card and there was an intermediate menu to select which parameter set, which individual trajectory, to visualize.
