The top 3 species eclipse virtually all of our other holdings in other species.

If the visualization it is meant to lead the user on a path to browse what is available in our collection (my personal preference), it may be worth rethinking the graphs altogether. It is the approximate information richness that is the important thing to convey imho, and this can be done with a color scale. A matrix view also gets us away from having to implement more colors than the human eye can meaningfully distinguish.\r\n\r\nThoughts?\r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/monarch-initiative/monarch-app/issues/comments/255194404","html_url":"https://github.com/monarch-initiative/monarch-app/issues/1056#issuecomment-255194404","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/monarch-initiative/monarch-app/issues/1056","id":255194404,"user":{"login":"harryhoch","id":174707,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/174707?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/harryhoch","html_url":"https://github.com/harryhoch","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/harryhoch/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/harryhoch/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/harryhoch/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/harryhoch/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/harryhoch/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/harryhoch/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/harryhoch/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/harryhoch/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/harryhoch/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-10-20T18:49:44Z","updated_at":"2016-10-20T18:49:44Z","body":"+1 .\r\n\r\nJulie, really like your overview above. If we have enough species, we might want to consider aggregating/disaggregating by taxonomic groups (genus, family, etc.) to organie the rows better.\r\n\r\nAs far as the short term solution goes, there are some approaches that might help in distinguishing between bars with a limited number of colors. If colors are used in a consistent order across each phenotype group and a small (1px) gap is placed between each organism's block it might be easier to distinguish between them.  A bit of added interaction might also help.  We could add a mouse-over event for the facet entries, causing  related entries in each of the graph rows to be highlighted.\r\n"}}
