Cumulating selections/subsriptions to build a truly custom plot

[FranckLejzerowicz]

Hi,

Can the types of subscriptions be cumulated?
For example, to show samples containing (i) order Clostridiales (1st click' selection) and also show (i.e. cumulate) samples containing (ii) genus Prevotella (2nd click-based selection).
Or does every selection is reset back to zero at every click?

A useful feature would be to have a reset button tp control the "flushing" of the subscriptions, either a full reset, or a reset per added selection (this is something useful in iTOL, where one can rename and edit each data layer).

This is somewhat related to this issue posted to EMPeror: biocore/emperor#741

(still happy to help if not too finicky)

Cheers,
Franck

This is a cool idea, I think this could be achieved using a filtering panel. This UI component would allow you to select features or samples based on a metadata or count-based criteria. For each criteria you could hide, color, or collapse as needed. Similar to how you select differentials in Qurro.

Yes some sort of:
(i) select a metadata/brush samples --> create subscription
(ii) select another metadata/another brush samples --> add to created subscription
(iii) ...
and
(iv) assign a color scheme per subscribed item (can get messy tho...) --> I believe this is what you refer to as a "filtering panel"
With the possibility to reset each of (i), (ii) or both.
I'd like to help for selections to cumulate, maybe easier on the EMPeror side..
