Subtrack Configuration

Subtrack configuration is at 5 levels:

1. The whole composite:
   • visibility - all or none for all subtracks
   • reset to defaults
   • composite wide cfg options (rarely seen with matrix) - when set will propogate to all subtracks.
2. Views:
   • visibility -
     • hide->visible: "enables" subtrack children of the view, checks subtrack childrens that are currently selected in matrix/filterBoxes/ABC dimensions. This is so even if matrix CB is in third state.
     • visible->hide: "disables" subtrack children of the view (graying their check boxes), does not uncheck them.
   • view specific cfg options - when set will propogate to all subtrack children of the view.
3. Matrix CBs 1x and 2x:
   • clicking checks/unchecks all subtrack children of that category AND that are also selected by filterBoxes/ABC dimensions.
     • does not enable/disable subtracks and will check/uncheck subtracks even if they are disabled (gray: view vis hidden).
   • 3rd state (gray) matrix CBs are clickable and doing so will remove third state.
4. filterBoxes and ABC dimensions: these work essentially the same, but filterBoxes is the new technology.
   • Selecting/unselecting categories will check/uncheck subtrack children of that category AND are also selected by matrix dimensions.
     • does not enable/disable subtracks and will check/uncheck subtracks even if they are disabled (gray: view vis hidden).
   • filterBoxes should additionally show which categories agree with other currently selected categories, by means of greying options.
5. subtracks:
   • check boxes: clicking will check/uncheck the one subtrack AND, will alter matrix CB to be one of the three states:
     • matrix CB checked if all visible (enabled) subtrack children are checked.
     • matrix CB unchecked if all visible (enabled) subtrack children are unchecked.
     • matrix CB 3rd state (gray) indeterminant. If some BUT NOT all visible (enabled) subtrack children are checked.
   • disable (grayed: view vis hidden) subtrack CBs are not clickable.
   • individual subtrack configuration settings:
     • Currently not on all subtracks, but one day yes.
     • Currently don't see visibility but one day yes.
     • Will override composite/view level configuration settings for the single subtrack. Will be overridden again if the composite/view level setting is again set.

Interactions with track search and right-click configure.

These two features can make subtracks visible or override settings that exist in hgTrackUi. Lets call these individual subtracks "rebels".

• All visible subtracks (including rebels) should be checked.
• Composite and view visibility should be "reshaped" by rebel subtrack visibility. This means that the view will have the highest visibility of it's subtrack children.

• subtrack children that are not at this highest level for the view are now the rebels with individual vis set.

• Changing the composite or view visiblity when rebels exist, should return rebels to the composite/view vis or config setting just changed. That is, change a view's track height will set all children subtracks to that track height. the children are no longer rebels on track height, though they may be on another setting.
