New features

[lmsimp]

Starting a new issue here to consolidate ideas and suggestions for new features. This is a list of suggestions for now, which we can add to, not a to-do list. We can discuss together on here @lgatto or have a video/call chat about it too.

Aesthetics

• enforce 1:1 ratio for plots (Laurent's feedback from Bioc Enforce sensible aspect ratio for PCA plots #95)
• allow switching between colour themes (very easy using shinythemes package) on a very simple level between white (I like flatly) and black background (e.g. cyborg)

Functionality

• multiple/batch searching with spaces and not pipes (I have done some investigating and testing with this and using JS works well)
• remove legends and colour code the selectizeInput (this is possible with css)
• option to download plot
• export a selection of highlighted proteins to a csv file and/or R object
• DT table searching and filtering based on feature columns (see 2.8 column filters example)
• zooming in the profiles tab (not sure about this suggestion)

(These things are currently specified when launching pRolocVis not needed within the app but have added here for potential testing/discussion

• enable switching between PCs on the axes within in the app

• two tabs for different plot visualisation e.g. plot 1 is PCA, plot 2 is t-SNE, then plot 3 would be profiles (not keen but possibly okay for standalone apps released with papers))

• It takes ages to load the profiles tab! what about adding a nice waiting screen or widget whilst it loads see the R package waiter

Information

• add a descriptions tab for each app on startup (see issue Add a description tab #89 )
