Description of Changes

Implements the color map configuration of E&A layers.

Changes:

  • Adds curated list of supported color maps taken from the back-end, split into diverging and sequential groups
  • Supports other valid color map names from the list of color maps: https://openveda.cloud/api/raster/colorMaps
  • Adds support for reversing the colors
  • Adds reset all button which currently only resets the "Reverse" option, but will also apply to the "Rescale" functionality which is to be added next
  • Added a loading skeleton to the colormap in the timeline sidebar when a layer is added. This prevents a visual flash because it might take a second to fetch the color map from the back-end (cc @faustoperez )

The precedence of the color maps are as follows:

  1. Start with what is configured in the sourceParams of the dataset
  2. If it's not defined, check for the dashboard render configuration coming from STAC endpoint
  3. If still undefined, check for asset-specific renders using the sourceParams' assets. This is a special edge case for some datasets that have multiple assets (multiple assets under one collection item)
  4. If all else fails, default to viridis

Please let me know your thoughts on that or if you spot something strange

Notes & Questions About Changes

  • I additionally pushed a shell script that I used to build the colorMaps.ts file, I hope that's okay. It fetches all the rgba values for each supported colorMap from titiler. We could extend it and integrate it within our Github workflow in the future, so that the colors are fetched on each new release (although it's unlikely they will change that often)

Validation / Testing

  • Verify that the color map list is correctly split into diverging and sequential groups
  • Check that reversing the color map works as expected and toggles correctly
  • Test the "Reset All" button to ensure that it resets the "Reverse" option and works as intended
  • Check that the precedence of the color maps is followed in the correct order:
  1. Start with sourceParams of the dataset
  2. Fallback to dashboard render configuration from the STAC endpoint
  3. If undefined, check for asset-specific renders using sourceParams' assets
  4. Finally, default to viridis if all else fails
  • Verify that the changes do not break any existing functionality related to rendering of the tiles on the map (selected color map must match the tile colors)
  • Test across different datasets with both single and multiple assets to confirm edge cases are handled as described

Sounds great @dzole0311 !

This needs to be changed if we want to give a priority to manual sourceParams: https:/NASA-IMPACT/veda-ui/pull/1117/files#diff-fc839f8286ca1783e679e0fcddd8a3da452570ebbe9f433e16fda7003b91687eR376 (but hopefully we can move on from manual configurations soon 😬 !)

🤔 probably a nitpick, If colormap is optional anyway, can we do

...colorMap &&  {colormap_name: colorMap}

and get rid of the https:/NASA-IMPACT/veda-ui/pull/1117/files#diff-b015ae8d170bf7762b2b8ad8c59673574d21cced66fccabdf7cac68e7d30b864R27?

We need this in order to check if the colorMap is part of the url params. Did you mean we could move it one level up or completely get rid of it?

One more - do you see any reason not to apply dynamic colormap to other types of raster layers? (cmr and zarr)? - We can separate the issues for these layers since these are not being used on production anyway, but I was wondering if there is any specific reason!

Lots of good comments @hanbyul-here, thanks!

It somehow slipped my mind to pass the colormap to the RasterPaintLayer as well. Should work now for CMR and Zarr layers.

I think that somehow leading users back to the visualization recommended/configured by the science team will be important to stakeholders. Whether that's the reset button also resetting the colormap selection or providing some sort of visual cue which colormap is the default.

I see in the netlify preview that some of the datasets start with "Default," and some didn't. I assume this has to do with the logic you were talking about @dzole0311 to decide which colormap is the default. Is there any way to ensure that whatever is decided to be the default comes with this tag?

Also, another question, do we think users will want to see both Default AND the colormap name? cc @faustoperez

Example w/o default tag:
image

There is also an edge case that I discovered. If it's an easy fix, maybe worth addressing. Otherwise we can make a ticket and do it at some point in the future.
Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open exploration tab and select layers
  2. Change the colormap of one of the layers to something other than the Default
  3. Notice that if you close and reopen the colormap bar, the Default tag is still there
  4. Refresh the page and notice that the change in colormap is maintained (I believe this is desirable, so people can share views with others via URL)
  5. Open the colormap bar and notice that the Default tag is no longer there

return isReversed ? colors.reduceRight((acc, color) => [...acc, color], []) : colors;
};

Curious, with Jotai state management, cant we access the same state from the same atom? so instead of passing colorMap state and setter method, can we just pass in the datasetAtom and then do const [colorMap, setColorMap] = useTimelineDatasetColormap(datasetAtom); at this level to avoid prop drilling since datasetAtom was already being previously being passed into DataLayerCard?

### Description of Changes
I made the colormap default to be returned along with other settings
values - I think this saves some redundancies of retrieving the value of
colormap, and fits well with the existing pattern.
I eliminated reconciling functions from data-util (and used the function
from data-util-no-faux-module) so there is no confusion about which
function is being called.

As discussed yesterday, I removed the "Reset All" and "Default" label for now.

I see in the netlify preview that some of the datasets start with "Default," and some didn't. I assume this has to do with the logic you were talking about @dzole0311 to decide which colormap is the default. Is there any way to ensure that whatever is decided to be the default comes with this tag?

@aboydnw This and the other issue you spotted are partially related (ticketed here: #1130) and will be handled together within one fix.

"Default" here refers to the colormap set by the science team. When designing this, my understanding was that they often don't name their colormaps or use readily available ones like the Viridis family, hence my use of "default" to mean the original setting.

Perhaps replacing "Default" with "Initial" would make this clearer?

Also, if we can identify whether the science team's colormap is one already listed, we could set it as the default or highlight it in the colormap panel to avoid duplicates 🤷‍♂️
