As a first step in #1889 and potentially to support #1776, we need a tool for drawing polygons on the surface of the Earth in Cesium. The coordinates for the polygon should be accessible to other tools, like the plot viewer and data downloading mechanism. There should be some sort of UI for turning on/off drawing mode, editing and removing the polygon. There should be a mapConfig option to hide all of this UI. We will probably want to keep it hidden until there's some purpose to drawing on the map (i.e. until we can pass the polygon onto a plot viewer or data downloader)

Improve Cesium Map models, views, & collections
24c8050 
- Add MapInteraction, GeoPoint and GeoBoundingBox models
- Make the CesiumWidgetView methods smaller and more modular
- Move Map model attributes to the MapInteraction model (selectedFeatures, currentPosition, currentScale, and currentViewExtent)
- In MapAsset models, listen for changes to cesiumOptions and update Cesium model
- In map connectors, don't use new models as defaults to avoid instantiating new models unnecessarily
- Pass GeoPoint and GeoScale models directly to the ScaleBarView

The very basically functionality for drawing on the map is now in place. Here's a preview of how it looks at the moment:

Screen.Recording.2023-09-21.at.17.46.33.mov

The point data is stored in a newly created GeoPoints collection, which will allow the coordinates to be easily extracted in order to send them to an API for downloading or plotting data from the selected region.

Remaining tasks:

  • Write tests for the GeoPoints collection and the GeoPoints-VectorData connector
  • Resolve issue with displaying polygon that covers a pole
  • Improve the buttons and overall drawing UI
  • Consider showing the drawing interface separately from the side panel (so that users can, for example, interact with the layer list and draw on the map at the same time).
  • Add methods for editing & removing points, or create an issue to enhance the DrawTool with these features in the future
  • (optional) use the GeoPoints collection in the Geohash model to handle creating GeoJson (just to keep the code base more DRY)
