here’s another scatterplot i’ve been working on [ look it scales! ]:
scatterplots themselves aren’t that exciting. each circle in this chart is the one project site, and what this visualization illustrates is how many events took place on each site during a given time interval, and over how many days those events were spread out. so for the purple circle at the top, 150 events took place over ~50 different days out of a 4-month time window. the size of the circles reflects how many different users were involved in those events, and the color of the circles indicates the age of the site (orange is younger, purple is older).these scatterplots are primarily just for practice; it is hard to see much on a scatterplot with ALL sites included (the one above has only 50 sites); it’s just too “busy”. so my next task is to start generating visualizations for individual sites, which is something it is really impractical to do by hand. it’s been a long time since i did any programming — this is kindof fun!
