Sunburst diagram not showing all pieces until zoom#111

It looks like there are gap teeth on the sunburst diagram until I zoom in and see that there are none. This is confusing when I’m reviewing the tagging.

Thanks for the report - that does seem pretty misleading. I think this effect is a nearly unavoidable possibility with sunburst diagrams; if you have enough studies + tags with few enough studies, a tag may drop under a single pixel in computed width.

Jeff, should we reduce the margin between slices? Alternatively, we could impose a min width on slices (although this is an inaccurate representation and should probably be avoided).

That’s really interesting Nicole, thanks for pointing that out. This is an interesting design problem. This is likely due to the fact that we chose to make borders between each segment the same as the background color; there is probably a way to fix this! For example, we could add darker line around each segment and eliminate the gaps between segments all together.

Hi all, I just ran into this same problem. Trying to look for the teeny lines is really hard. In the yellow section, there are quite a few interventions tagged, but I can’t see them until I put my mouse above the area.

Maybe a darker blue would fix this?

Thanks for updating us! I’ll note that we have launched a new Zoom capability, which should allow you to expand these by selecting tags above it to ‘reset’ the inner circle of the Sunburst (https://wiki.nested-knowledge.com/doku.php?id=wiki:synthesis:qualitative#zoom_on_the_sunburst), but we definitely should consider changing the outline for slivers of the Sunburst!

I noticed the Zoom capability but when I click in the highlighted square, this is what comes up. This is one of the slivers, but it’s confusing because it turns into its own circle? Instead of zooming in on that highlighted section.

That’s the intended software action! the new Zoom works by clicking on a tag with the intent of drilling down on its ‘child’ tags. So, if you want to see all the slivers, click ONE LEVEL ABOVE (on the parent tag), and it should change to show only the tags below that parent tag!

Oh yes, I see now! zooming in on the parent tag gets the intended effect I was looking for, thank you!

I also wanted to mention that when you zoom into the slivers, you can’t get any statistics on these tags.

Oh wait, the user has to close the zoom feature and then click on the filter feature to get tag stats… that’s tricky! (in my humble experience as a user)

Yes - you got it! There’s definitely a case to be made that Zoom mode could show stats. The only counter argument I can imagine is that one might think the stats should be scoped to the zoomed diagram (vs. the entire thing).

Oh that makes sense and could be confusing if the user thinks that the stats are only relative to the zoomed diagram! I think we could make it a bit more clear to the user that they need to switch out of zoom mode somehow to the filter mode again? Not sure how
