Future ideas for balance_taxonomy

[ebolyen]

Improvement Description
Showing the full taxonomy string from the root to the current level is usually how we display the taxonomic information. That would make the Balance Taxonomy barplot match q2-taxa a bit better.

Additionally, the proportion plot should probably have the full taxonomy string, since it is representing a given balance tip. Alternatively, it might make sense for those to be collapsed to the taxa level as well.

It would be nice if the scatter plot was also colored by the partition group when working with numeric metadata.

It also seems like the Proportion plot could concievably support more than two groups if the bars were vertical and colored with a group legend. You could still split the chart into numerator/denominator like it currently is, the split would just be vertical.

balance_taxonomy was removed in 2020.2. Ok to close?
