LIS 4317 Module #6 Assignment


 




This is the basic graphic that I created in R Studio using the dataset "mtcars" to show the relationship between "Miles Per Gallon" and "Horsepower."

My graphic aligns with Few's perspective by:

  • Emphasizing clarity and simplicity.
  • Avoids unnecessary decorations that detract from the information.
  • The scatter plot follows the principle of (Practical Data Visualization) by using minimal themes and labeling the axes correctly.
My graphic aligns with Yau's perspective by:
  • Focuses on engaging narratives through data visualization.
  • Encourages creative but effective graphic design.
  • Although the scatter plot is functional, my graphic lacks deeper storytelling elements, such as color coding by another variable.

Multivariate visualization is an effective way to explore relationships between multiple variables simultaneously. In this graph, we inputted: X-axis : Horsepower (hp ) Y-axis : Miles per gallon (mpg) Color : Number of cylinders (cyl) Size : Weight (wt) The patterns identified are: Cars with higher horsepower tend to have lower fuel efficiency. Heavier cars (more prominent points) usually have more cylinders. The distinction between different cylinder groups can be observed through color. 5 Design Principles Alignment The axes and labels are well-aligned, ensuring readability. The legend is positioned appropriately to avoid clutter. Repetition The same color scheme is used consistently for cylinder categories. Labels and formatting maintain consistency across variables. Contrast The different colors for cylinder groups provide clear differentiation. The white background ensures the data stands out. Proximity Related elements (title, labels, legend) are...

Hello, Here is my Assignment #4 Times Series Visualization. I only used 6 of the 12 available variables in this dataset that include: Primary USA City Year Vehicle Revenue Miles Vehicle Revunue Hours Ridership Collision with Motor Vehicles The insights gained from my times series visualization are: Ridership trends over time for each city Comparison of service miles and hours across years. Collision data visualized as bubble size – larger bubbles mean more collisions. City-based filtering allows users to focus on specific locations. Some of the challenges I faced while working on Tableau was trying to figure out how to dual axis the data, and allow it for visually look correct. I played around a lot with what should be placed on what axis, and how I wanted to color coordinate the data by city. Overall, this was a fun experience and I enjoy the opportunity to try and create new types of data visualization products.

Color Gradient Based on a Continuous Variable Style : Scatter Plot with a color gradient (based on a continuous variable qsec). Do you like the visualization? Why? Yes. The color gradient from yellow to dark blue effectively shows the variation in quarter-mile time across points. It’s visually appealing and functionally informative. Is the Headline Accurate? Yes. The title "Quarter-Mile Time Gradient on MPG vs Weight" is accurate, clearly describing the visual mapping. Does the visualization support the title narrative? Yes. The scatter plot shows mpg vs wt and color encodes qsec, aligning with the title. Does the visualization lie? No. It presents data truthfully and avoids distortions. Unnecessary Graphic Elements? No unnecessary elements. Clean and focused on the data. Like or Dislike (Design, Color, Layout)? Like. The yellow-to-dark blue gradient is effective for continuous data, and the layout is clean. CODE: ggplot(mtcars, aes(x = wt, y = mpg, color = qs...
