display() - mapbox hover "help" doesn't display non-numeric data

[ptitzler]

0.86 (not data set specific)

import pixiedust
df=pixiedust.SampleData(2)
display(df)

• Select Map chart type
• As keys select Longitude and Latitude
• As value select a numeric field (e.g. price) and a non-numeric field (e.g. name)
• Choose mapbox as renderer
• Hover over a marker

Expected behavior

The hover help/tool tip displays the values for the selected numeric field (e.g. price) and non-numeric field (e.g. name).

Actual behavior

The hover help/tool tip displays the values for the selected numeric field (e.g. price) only.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Requires a re-work of the options for mapping. Probable fix is adding a new option for mapping renderers that allows user to specify fields only for pop-up display.

@DTAIEB i believe the problem here is the default implementation of baseChartDisplay.getValueFields() removes all non-numeric valueFields columns. map renderers (or any renderer which allows non numeric valueFields) should either use

• a different implementation of getValueFields (which does not remove non-numeric columns if aggregation is not supported)
  or
• move/place non-numeric columns into the 'preserveCols' field

@glynnbird we have this, if you want to try another

Slightly modified instructions to reproduce:

import pixiedust
df=pixiedust.sampleData(2)
display(df)

• Select Map chart type
• As keys select Longitude and Latitude
• As value select a numeric field (e.g. price) and a non-numeric field (e.g. name)
• Choose mapbox as renderer
• Hover over a marker
