Improve color schemes

Open mdietze opened this issue 9 years ago • 6 comments

In figures and the History table we should make sure color schemes are more color-blind sensitive. A student on the flux course noted that the red/green distinction on the History table might be improved. On the other hand, for non-color-blind individuals the red/green has an intuitive stop/go -> fail/pass interpretation. Worth thinking about how we balance this.

I worked with Shawn on this in the past. Here is a program that can help on the Mac: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sim-daltonism/id693112260?mt=12

Hello @mdietze ,

I’d like to work on this issue and help improve the color accessibility in PEcAn. Could you please provide guidance on where to locate the History table and related components? Also, are the figures mentioned generated through scripts or part of the web interface?

If this issue is still open and needs to be addressed, could you kindly assign it to me?

@harshagr70 the way the current PEcAn system is being used, this issue isn't as quick and simple as it once was. In 2016, this would have been a quick color palette change within the interactive web tools. That still could be done, but in practice we'd like to move away from those tools in favor of a more notebook-based interface (e.g., RStudio, Jupyter), which we intend to post again as a GSOC project this year.

@mdietze Thank you for the detailed explanation! I wasn’t aware that this issue has evolved into a more complex task given the current direction of the project. It’s great to learn about the shift towards notebook-based interfaces like RStudio or Jupyter, which seems like a significant and exciting step forward.

I would still love to explore this area further and gain a better understanding of how the system works. If there’s any way I could assist or contribute to related efforts, please let me know. 😊
