Practical Data Analysis - Second Edition

By: Hector Cuesta, Dr. Sampath Kumar

Overview of this book

Beyond buzzwords like Big Data or Data Science, there are a great opportunities to innovate in many businesses using data analysis to get data-driven products. Data analysis involves asking many questions about data in order to discover insights and generate value for a product or a service. This book explains the basic data algorithms without the theoretical jargon, and you’ll get hands-on turning data into insights using machine learning techniques. We will perform data-driven innovation processing for several types of data such as text, Images, social network graphs, documents, and time series, showing you how to implement large data processing with MongoDB and Apache Spark.

Preface

Interaction and animation


D3 provides good support for interactions, transitions, and animations. In this example, we will focus on the basic way of adding transitions and interactions to our visualization. This time, we will use a very similar code to the bar chart example in order to demonstrate how easy it is to add interactivity to a visualization.

We need to define the font family, the size for the labels, and the style for the axis line:

<style> 
body { 
  font: 14px arial; 
} 
.axis path, 
.axis line { 
  fill: none; 
  stroke: #000; 
} 
.bar { 
  fill: gray; 
} 
</style> 

Inside the body tag, we need to refer to the library:

<body> 
<script src="http://d3js.org/d3.v3.min.js"></script> 
var formato = d3.format("0.0"); 

Now we define the X and Y axes with a width of 1200 pixels and a height of 550 pixels:

var x = d3.scale.ordinal() 
    .rangeRoundBands([0, 1200], .1); 
 
var y = d3.scale.linear() 
    .range([550, 0]); 
 
var xAxis = d3.svg.axis() 
    .scale...
