Google Chart Bubble Chart via CSV Primer Tutorial
The Google Chart Bubble Chart is a great tool to show correlations, and we’ll get more on that soon, but today, we wanted to use it to display some more United States data resource website data.gov derived data regarding “First Names of Babies in New York from 2011 to 2014”, as you can see happening in today’s tutorial picture.
Google Chart Bubble Charts can handle 5 data properties as per …
- ID (could be character data) … uniquifier
- X position on X axis
- Y position on Y axis
- Legend (character data, the different values of, can form the Bubble Chart legend)
- Sizer numerical value affects diameter of Bubble
… for each data point. Later, in today’s CSV to Bubble Chart csv_to_bubblechart.html‘s live run link web application these data property choices make up the options of HTML select (dropdown) elements associated with each CSV (ie. comma separated values format) column where the user can assign a CSV column with a Bubble Chart “data property” role, and so give the web application a means by which to create the Bubble Chart, created after 5 of these dropdowns are given values.
A CSV file URL completes the user data requirements here. We thank this useful link, thanks, for good Ajax Javascript code to avoid a CSV being downloaded (as happens a lot when setting a CSV as an HTML iframe element ‘src’ property value).
The external Javascript today is csv_to_bubblechart.js completing the supervisory code team for the HTML iframe child Google Chart Bubble Chart interfacing bubble_chart.php changed this way for today’s work.
You can enter your own data here or simulate today’s tutorial picture. There’s more to work on here, we’re thinking, and we hope you find this interesting.
