See Restaurants with A grades. Currently, all maps are 'internally scaled' - with mins and maxes that reflect that year's min and max.
RwAG has a clear trend over time of improvement. Scaling the min and max across years would let a time browse of the map communicate this more clearly.
Ideas:
- Allow uploading user to set mins and maxes (drawbacks: requires manual intervention
- Create additional metadata flag in indicators.json that tells the code to get mins and maxes for the measure across all years - and applies that
- Allow uploading user to set the min and max from a specified year
- Or - create another view that's designed to communicate change over time.
Preference is for an approach that doesn't require a lot of manual control over parameters, so that we don't create an application that has too much refined customization or can create a lot of messy edge cases.
