Search functionality

[Jonathan-Abrahams]

Hi Bohdan,

I am getting really far with this tool, but with such huge datasets it is hard to find specific rows or columns I am interested in.

Is there a way to add a search functionality in?

Hi @Jonathan-Abrahams ,

I have added a quick fix (you do have to know what specific x- or y-values or ranges you are interested in beforehand, though). The overall layout of the page still looks the same, except for the added search bars for x and y and a slight change in the instructions:

As you can read in the instructions box, you use the search bars to specify your x- and y-values of interest (you can also enter ranges, but they have to be in the form of “[x,y]” with no space in between the “x,” and “y”; we also assume that x and y are strings that don’t contain commas or square brackets).

For example, if I specify an x and y value for this dataset, the plot will be displayed zoomed in on those specific coordinates, like this:

Or, you could enter a range, like this:

You can still zoom out and pan. Clicking autoscale, for example, will zoom all the way out.

If you leave blank (or enter something invalid into) one or both of the search bars, the plot will appear without any modifications in the range you don’t provide a proper value or range for, for example:

or:

Is this helpful and/or close to what you were looking for? Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

@emaiti Please add a tiny search icon widget (or similar) such that a user doesn't need to re-load a dataset every time the x or y value is changed. If possible, make it interactive such that typing in a new x or y value and pressing enter will navigate the user to the appropriate location in the heatmap.

Sounds good, working on it!
