For this exercise, I have choosen Jurassic Park - The Exhaustive Dinosaur Dataset.

I am focusing on attributes like height, species, countrywise distribution and respective diet.

Each plot has a information section on side of it which gives furthur details. Scroll Down!

Select Attribute:

Use above selection box to see correlation between different attributes.
The given graph shows the correlation between how many dinosaur species had harbivourous/carnivorous diet and gap in between their height of those individual group.

In the given visualization, the size of each circle represents the count of dinosaur which had either harbivourous or carnivorous diet.
Hover over each circle for extra details.
The center of each circle lies with average height of the particular group of dinosaur.

For each key in selected attribute, the given graph is connecting these harbivourous and carnivorous circles by a sinlge line which represent the average height between the harbivourous/carnivorous group for that key.

Section 3 - Now , lets checkout the rings of dinosaur's

Play Animation

This graph represents, the distribution of each species over different country.
Given visualization will categories dinosaur species into 5 groups like sauropod, large theropod, small theropod, euornithopod and armoured dinosaur.

Each circle arc represents the number of species of particular group.

Each country has its own ring, which will help in understanding the distribution of each species over all these contries.

This will help in comparing global and local distribution of each species.

To get to know more about species count in particular country, hover over the dinosaur next to each rings.

Information section

In current exercise, I have used attributes from current dataset like diet, period, lived_in, length and species.
For the first visualization,
- I have used point and lines as marks. The channels will be length of the line which will represent average height (qauntitative attribute), area of the circle (qauntitative attribute) represent number of dinousaur of that species and color hue wherein of the each circle indicate type of diet(categorical attribute).
- For interaction, one can hover over the circle to get more details about the particular species, their height and diet. Also use can select different categorical attribute for plot using selection.
For the second dinosaur rings plot,
- I have used line as marks which is the arc of ring. The channel in this plot are length of the arc (quantitative) representing number of species of given type and color hue for the rings (categorical) represent type of species.
- For interaction, one can hover over the dinousaur image to get more details about the particular species, their count. And a play button will replay the animation on click.
I have taken inspiration from, radial arc desing such as link
I have also referred my code from earlier assigments and from Dr. Bryan's lecture for CSE 494.
