Description

Today, the brain-map.org ABC Atlas contains a scatterplot rendering tool that allows rendering very large numbers of points, with various display properties, hover sensitivity, and zooming support. This would be a useful capability to have in Vis!

Currently, this feature is built into ABC Atlas, but a Vis-based implementation could in turn be used by future versions of ABC Atlas, not to mention any other tools that have need for such scatterplot rendering features.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reviewing Vis's TypeScript packages and examples, then compare their capabilities with the ABC Atlas scatterplot tool. Done would require an agreed Vis-based implementation supporting large point sets, display properties, hover sensitivity, and zooming.
