Description

This would work by, for a given sample metadata field (e.g. pH, age, ...), computing (for each tip) the average/median/min/max/sum/etc. value of this field out of all samples that contain this tip: then this information could be encoded either using color or length.

Initially mentioned by @ElDeveloper in #201. as we discussed this morning this could be useful for the paper, as a way of showing which tips are "associated" with which types of samples.
