Check out the Visualization here. (more…)
I used processing to create a data visualization for one of my MAT classes at UCSB (MAT 259 – Information Visualization). I used a year of data (2008) to compare and map the number of transactions (checkin and checkouts) of each Dewey item (these include books, CD, DVD, etc). This was interesting for me to develop because I got to use trees and learn more about data structures. For more information about Dewey categories click here. As you can see the Arts dominate over the other categories, and the largest child of the art node is the Music subcategory. This sketch is interactive, and dynamic. I am currently still working on improving the look and feel and exporting the sketch for the web, so everyone can see it in action.
