Custom labels for the views

[lee-t]

For example in the COVID-19 Multi-omic Blood Atlas demo there are 2 UMAP panels with different link views. Is it possible to have a label for the top one to say "Gene expression" and the bottom one "Antibody Targets"? Would this also work for panels with separate datasets?

Yes in python this can be achieved with chaining after .add_view().set_props({ "title": "New name" })

In JSON it looks like http://vitessce.io/docs/view-config-json/#layout

{
  component: "scatterplot",
  props: { title: "New name" }
  x: 1, y: 2, w: 4, h: 4
}

So I managed to get this working in the editor JSON:

    {
      "component": "spatial",
      "props": {
        "title": "Spatial Name"
      },
        x: 1, y: 2, w: 4, h: 4
}

However, in python chaining doesn't seem to work for me so I just passed the prop as an argument.

spatial1 = vc.add_view(cm.SPATIAL, dataset=dataset1, props= {"title": "Midsagittal slice"})

Marking the JSON reply as the answer since it worked mostly out of the box. Thanks Mark!
