src/compile/selection/assemble.ts

+    const store: VgData = {name: selCmpt.name + STORE};
+
+    if (selCmpt.project.hasSelectionId) {
+      store.transform = [{type: 'collect', sort: {field: SELECTION_ID}}];


@arvind regarding #7932 and this PR I have a question:

Is the transform for datum.values[0] missing here? because you mentioned that the transform for the lasso must include this formula to correctly work with 'vlSelectionTuples'

"transform": [ {"type": "formula", "expr": "datum.values[0]", "as": "_vgsid_"}, {"type": "collect", "sort": {"field": "_vgsid_"}} ]

Yes, good eye! In #7933 and vega/vega#3397 (both of which this PR depends on), I introduced a more optimized format for selection stores when only the SELECTION_ID is being stored. In particular, after those two PRs, the selection store holds tuples in the form {_vgsid_, unit} sorted by _vgsid_. This structure allows us to skip the formula transform, as well all the array generation that would previously happen for the fields and values keys of the older tuples. The {unit, fields, values} tuple format still applied for non-selectionID based stores.

Hope that helps!

other models as geoshapes are likely to be background layer.

Have some questions from a first skim. Will look more and add more comments.

src/compile/selection/interval.ts

+      // Proxy scale reactions to ensure that an infinite loop doesn't occur
+      // when an interval selection filter touches the scale.
+      if (!scales.defined(selCmpt)) {
+        const triggerSg = name + SCALE_TRIGGER;


What is Sg short for? Please use full name if possible.

Short for signal. This is a convention used throughout src/compile/selection/ code. Do you want me to update this PR to fix it everywhere, send a separate PR, or keep it as is?

Keeping as is is fine but let's update to triggerSignal in a follow up pull request. sg could be misinterpreted as scenegraph.

kanitw · 2022-08-11T20:03:00Z

src/compile/selection/interval.ts

+        const triggerSg = name + SCALE_TRIGGER;
+        const scaleTriggers = channels.map(proj => {
+          const channel = proj.channel as 'x' | 'y';
+          const {data: dname, visual: vname} = proj.signals;


Why does visual become vname?

I wanted the variable name to clearly indicate that it was referencing the name of the visual signal.

    } as any);

+    const def_ = duplicate(def); // defensive copy to prevent compilers from causing side effects


(Optional)

Do we need this because existing code caused side effects or because this PR introduces side effect?

If the latter, I'd prefer that we don't do this defensive copy, which seems alarming to me.

That said, if it's a lot of refactor to take this out, we can ignore this comment.

Yes, this PR introduces side effects — namely, if the interval selection parser detects a map projection, it rewrites the defaults from x/y projection to instead lat/lon and updates the predicate field to SELECTION_ID ready for subsequent selection parsers to operate. This was the cleanest, most scoped/localized way I could think of to introduce brushing on maps without triggering a more massive refactor since the rest of the interval selection components expect standard cartesian coordinate systems. So my preference would be to keep the defensive copy since its occurring just on the selection definitions.

Any reasons why we're adding view here?

I'm trying to page this in since it's been a while but I believe it's to force a transparent background to be able to capture events. Without a 'view' style, there is no background specified on the overall view and so brushes only trigger if someone mouses down on a mark.

Looks good overall. Very exciting change!
