In this chapter, two tools were added to the Crime Analysis toolbox to provide crime data visualization products that supplement and enhance the mapping products created in the previous chapter. Using the crime data imported and aggregated from the open data Seattle police department, the Plotly
graphing and charting Python library was used to create bar charts and line plots. The Plotly
library can be used to create a wide variety of data visualization products in addition to the simple graphs created in this chapter. Take some time to explore the variety of additional data visualization products available through the Plotly
library.
In the next chapter, we'll explore the use of wxPython
to create advanced, engaging user interfaces for ArcGIS Desktop.
