Any feedback on this updated DRAFT metromap (no nitpickers please): Aims 1. Simplfiy all the lines/make less busy (some users reported they found it overwhelming) 2. Make it easier to maintain and to extend by adding profiles, by removing the splitting lines going into the profilers One thing I'm not sure how to indicate is optional/skippable modules currently
m
much clearer
I like it
j
Any suggestions?
m
I would loose the white triangles, I feel they are no longer relevant
I have a feeling the green part could be simplified too
A bit similar to what we did in sarek:

j
good point about the triangels
I'm not following exactly
about the green part simplification
m
do you have the source for that, I can show you what I mean quickly

thinking along these lines

I don't like the mega taxpasta bit because it looks like an end point, which it isn't technically, taht shiould be the final TSVs
But I also wasn't happy with the very long DB lines, but was hoping I could align them with the other inputs
but I agree your way is better
m
Maybe a -{ and }- to make the mega taxpasta look less like a box
j
??
Not following still
But I still prefer the lines to go into/output of the box, as it implies continuitiy wit hteh main lines

j
Hrmmmm
I see what you mean
I'll have a think, but I think that is over simplifying, as we don't actually merge the output of taxpasta across all the profilers
h
Very nice! About optional modules, maybe adding a background color OR a small shape in the side would help?
j
Latest version

(that I sent to Sofia/Lili last night)
Is that what you mean?
h
yeah i think it makes it more clear, maybe a color would make nice contradiction, (red make a nice combination in my mind, but used for log files)
j
As in the coloured bubbles should not be the same colour as the line?
h
yea, maybe the outline of the bubble to have different colour
(thinking out loud) but there are many bubbles so i dont how it would look like
j
Ahhh right yeah
I tried that but I found it a) didn't show as much differentaiton, and b), it was really annoying to work out for the stations have both long/short reads (so the two colours)
h
aaa okk! btw you working on this image or in the last you shared in the channel?
j
What do you mean?
h
you shared a slightly different version in the channel

https://nfcore.slack.com/files/U0AGHR02REV/F0APKQA9U87/image.png▾

, so i was wondering which one of two you are working
j
Ah no, the latest one is the version in this thread above that I sent at 9.22
h
aaa ok, have you tried inner circle? illustrating an (O)ptionality
j
As in a smaller version of the big station nodes?
h
yes 🙂
j
Hmmm, it would be harder to read (and I've not seen metromap icons like that before in real ones 😬). But I'm still not exactly following: what are you trying to solve? Or rather what is not clear in my latest version above?
h
yea nvm, i was mainly thinking out loud, about how optional modules can be more distinct, but it is already clear enough !!:)
j
Ok! Like I don't mind making further modifications, just wasnt following if there was an actual issue or not
