SOCR Help Pages - SOCR Motion Charts

Introduction

The SOCR Motion Charts provide an interactive and dynamic visualization of temporal and longitudinal data

  1. This applet allows the visualization of multivariate and high-dimensional data that has a temporal or longitudinal dimension.
  2. SOCR Motion Charts use categorical, ordinal, nominal, discrete and continuous types of variables.

How to use the SOCR Motion Charts?

  • Graph Tab:
    • Right click to show the pop-up menu.
    • To zoom in: Choose "ZoomIn" from the pop-up menu or hold on the left mouse button and focus on the area you want to zoom in and drag toward lower_right corner.
    • To zoom out: Choose "ZoomOut" from the the pop-up menu or hold on the left mouse button and drag toward upper_left corner.
    • To change chart properties such as background color, Font, outline stroke: Choose "Properties" from the pop-up menu and make the change to Title/Plot.
    • To play the motion chart click Play button. You can also go back and forward using the corresponding buttons.
    • Bring mouse over a blob, and/or double-click a blob, to get more information.
  • Data Tab:
    • Paste data with first row representing the column headings
    • Copy data from any spreadsheet (e.g., SOCR_Data).
  • Mapping
    • Map your time variable to Key and any other measurements you are interested in visualizing to the other variables (X and Y axes, color, size, etc.) Category is a label for discriminating different blobs (e.g., state, country, geographic unit, etc.)
  • Refer to the Complete List of SOCR Charts and the Charts Video Tutorials
