how are you guys doing when you want to copy back a value from reveal to use in the code? sometimes selecting is hard when the structure is huge, wonder if there are other options

extend/shrink selection would be lovely

vlaaad 2021-04-13T09:12:40.046600Z

yeah yeah that’s what I had in mind

vlaaad 2021-04-13T09:12:51.046800Z

at least extend

vlaaad 2021-04-13T09:13:01.047Z

shrink requires some more state handling…

imre 2021-04-13T09:19:20.047200Z

Yeah I'd imagine so

vlaaad 2021-04-13T09:45:47.047400Z

anyway, I added expanding selection to my todo list!

some of the built in views let you zoom in and navigate deeply structures

I still think there's room for more tools aimed at navigating and summarizing "medium" size data.

I regularly use my https://github.com/phronmophobic/reveal-treemap to zoom in on part of nested structure, but I think there's still lots of interesting, unexplored improvements available. I would love to hear more ideas about the subject

imre 2021-04-13T09:11:09.046400Z

that looks really nice, thanks for sharing!

Am I getting it correctly that once you click an element then pressing enter will bring up the view selection dialog for that element?

phronmophobic 2021-04-13T17:27:06.048Z

Yes, although clicking only selects leaves of the tree. The pane on the right shows the keypath to the selected leaf node an you can use that to select parents of the leaf node, https://blog.phronemophobic.com/treemap/images/keypath-box-hover-shrunk.gif

It's still a work in progress. I wrote about the current approach and future work https://blog.phronemophobic.com/treemap/treemaps-are-awesome.html. Would love to hear if you have any suggestions or improvements.
