MakieCon feedback

[lazarusA]

Maybe include here all the feedback provided during makiecon, so we can have a clear idea of what is already possible and what is not.

@piever ?

Hey, yes, that's a good idea, I plan to go through my notes and upload them here next week.

So, with some order, here is the actionable MakieCon feedback.

Usability issues

• Legends and labelling.
  • [ ] Provide helpers for customizability (mix and match with existing Makie legends)
  • [ ] Legends does not adjust completely to style used (cf. #228)
  • [ ] Easier renaming (when using wide data or pregrouped data things are clumsy, it may be tricky to remove some names as well)
• Performance.
  • [ ] Figure out precompile times (see #459)

Data processing

• [ ] Provide extensibility mechanism for custom analyses (worked at during hackathon, but still wip). At the moment only possible by "copying" the source code for existing analyses.

Documentation issues

• [ ] Philosophy first approach. Iinsist more on philosophy on the documentation, it seems easy to end up "using AoG the wrong way", which can be frustrating.
• [ ] Insist on possibility of creating first "draft" of plot with AoG and then tweaking with Makie (documentation for that is hidden here).
• [ ] Document different data formats (pregrouped data documentation is hidden here, but it can be very useful for plots of 2D data such as heatmaps).
