Tooltip behavior

[gregallensworth]

Tooltip behavipor in place at present, is placeholder to show what's there. Needs design, or rethinking as to desired behaviors. Should this happen only on a click for example, while hover shows a smaller tooltip?

I think it depends on the presence of a panel-based inspector. A few examples of these here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1876erCftYtsRJwWvrSM3f-N5n_7aFUpQmbUxn7dQ_8M/edit#slide=id.g38dd368be4_0_11

What about something "simple" (?), with no tooltips -

• Hover = highlights selectability of underlying shape
• Click = update inspector panel

?

Gregor: Change behavior of the InspectorPanelControl, to perform a point query instead of nearby-box query. Have this drill down through all layers and report all hits for this point: modern state & county, historical state & county presence at that point.

• enable the transparent-fill always-on modern state & county layers; so they can be queried
• set up transparent-fill always-on historical states & counties layers; so they can be queried
• rewrite search behavior to use point against these transparent layers
• unique-ify resultset, and sort by START date
• maybe a toggle behavior in the inspector panel, so the title and dates show first, and verbose narrative not until a "more" button is clicked

Also, given the lengthy nature of this listing:

• add max-height & scrolling behavior
• add X to close this panel, as it's not necessarily obvious nor readily feasible, to click someplace else where there is nothing, in order to close the panel

And new features:

• upon clicking a feature, can we highlight it on the map? The hover layer being separate from the displayed layers, this should work well to illustrate that modern/past area in contrast to the visible areas.
