detail pages linked from family return JSON

[SimonGreenhill]

go here https://grambank.clld.org/familys and select a family. You are redirected to a JSON endpoint: https://grambank.clld.org/familys/utoa1244

Perhaps a better location is https://grambank.clld.org/languages with the family filter set correctly?

[SimonGreenhill]

it would be quite nice to have a view for /languages/<family_id>/ which just shows the data points for family_id.

[xrotwang]

You mean a values table aggregating datapoints for all languages in the family? Is that actually useful? What would you expect to see there? If you think the map view would be useful, I'd rather propose we code feature values as icon shapes and family as color - this would provide a bit of classification info in all feature maps.

[SimonGreenhill]

hmm, ok. I can see that people will want to drill down into the family level e.g. what do you have for UtoAztecan?

What about a view that solves #12 e.g. two panels -- one map and one features-on-a-tree? I guarantee that this would get screenshotted and included in a million talks :)

[xrotwang]

Ah, ok. I see. So rather than selecting a family tree on a features' details page, we'd have a feature selection on the family details page? Simon J Greenhill <[email protected]> schrieb am Di., 29. Sep. 2020, 21:05:

So https://grambank.clld.org/familys/utoa1244 has a map of the varieties and the table of coded values for all features (so far). Will have to think about where to put the tree with values for a single feature.

[xrotwang]

Maybe the family details page will need a feature selection box and accept a URL parameter parameter=GB020. That would still be transparent and linkable enough, I'd think.

[SimonGreenhill]

cool! thanks. I think the idea to have ?parameter=xxx will be very helpful.

[xrotwang]

So here's family page with tree and selectable features: https://grambank.clld.org/familys/algi1248?feature=GB022#tree-container

[SimonGreenhill]

this is awesome, thanks @xrotwang ! one nitpick -- the 0's are quite hard to see, is it easy to up the contrast (reduce alpha?) or change the color?

[xrotwang]

Ah, yes. For maps with less dots the opacity doesn't make much sense.

[xrotwang]

Changing the colors is easy, too. Proposals? PRs?

[SimonGreenhill]

sorry for bikeshedding, but what about https://colorbrewer2.org/#type=qualitative&scheme=Set1&n=4 or https://personal.sron.nl/~pault/ (actually fig 3 in the last link looks good, and is color blind friendly, so that would be nice).

Can we make:
? = gray cbbbbbb (is ? mapped? if not then don't worry)
0 = blue c0077bb
1 = red ccc3311
2 = teal c009988
3 = orange cee7733

[SimonGreenhill]

looks good!
