Layer control instead of drop-down

[do-me]

I think it might be good to introduce a proper "layer control". This is what it's called in GIS but the concept is the same here. Let me explain:

Currently you can toggle between:

• "points"
• "density"

However, this is misleading as "density" also displays points.
Also, if you select a text column, labels will show always and you cannot turn them off.

Proposal:

Instead of the dropdown, what GIS uses for this is a simple multiselect (ignore Canada Base section):

This would solve a few problems:

• the naming would be fixed, as the density setting would then only control density and not points
• users could hide the points in density view
• I'd propose an additional option "labels", where users can turn them on or off and - as we already discussed in Add labels for higher zoom levels #14 - potentially add a slider here to set the label density on various zoom levels.

As a side note: you could also include the base layer in this control, i.e. the black/white background plane and add a simple color picker if users prefer a differently colored background. But this might be out of scope for you.

I agree that a layer control would make the embedding view more configurable/powerful. Thanks for the suggestion.
