Ribbons for neuron classes in terminfo query summaries

[admclachlan]

Example ribbon from FlyBase - https://flybase.org/reports/FBgn0050446

Idea is ribbon of squares with heat map colours and text for each square.

For now:
Badges are currently mostly neurotransmitters, but can use as an example.

• example query: neurons connected to "PAM01 455159380"
• just do inputs for now - will calculate using json labels.

Later goals if possible:

• issue with using badges is they're biased towards NTs, which probably isn't the most important for most people.
• Could use the list of superclasses/classes from FlyWire for FAFB. Other templates would need their own list.
• Could also make contextual? If all neurons returned are in the same superclass, which seems likely, it may be better to then return the classes.
• Superclasses - 9
• Classes - ~25

@Robbie1977 Hi Robbie, got a couple of questions about this item that popped out whly analyzing.

1. Will you be providing us an API withing vfb_query that given a short_form (e.g. VFB_jrchk32l) it will return JSON data with the above table.

2. For that same example, what we expect to render is only 1 ribbon, with 6 labels in which GABAergic would have the strongest color and Glutamatergic the lightest, correct?

3. Link would reload VFB using that short_term initially?

[Robbie1977]

1: Yes so the query results schema would need to be extended to support ribbon-type results with all data and any query-level customisations needed. As the ribbons are in place of the preview table of results it would be at that level so it would be pre-computed rather than a call. The full query would return all the results in detail as per usual (no ribbons).

2: Correct

3: we need to support links for short_forms (ids) and links for queries as conceivably this could be a sub-query just showing the results with that neurotransmitter etc.
