Time Subsettting for groups of individual

Opened this issue · 2 comments

Hi.

I often want to reduce the time span in which I want to analyse my data on several individuals.

As of now I am only able to subset the time for one individual at the time.

It would be nice though, If one was able to select two to all individuals and the do a time subsetting on the selected animals.

Best,

Nicolai

When I was designing this feature I thought users will mainly use the histogram and scatterplot selection to find a suitable time range before do the time subsetting, and the way of how selection works make it difficult to apply to multiple animals. Right now the color in scatter plot is colored by histogram value range, so we will not be able to separate different individuals by color.

If we have to select multiple individuals, we will have to

  • maybe use a facet histogram to show multiple individuals, this will take quite some space
    • or don't separate individuals in histogram, I don't think that will be a good idea
  • to separate individuals in scatterplot, we can use different shape of point, that may not be as ideal as color but may be acceptable.

@chfleming @NoonanM What do you think about this?

I would not separate for the histogram and and use shapes for the scatter plot.
