SOCR Motion Charts
SOCR Motion Charts are developed by the Statistics Online Computational Resource. Lead developers on this project are Jameel Al-Aziz, Jenny Cui and Ivo Dinov. Motion Charts allow the visualization of multivariate and high-dimensional data that has a temporal or longitudinal dimension. SOCR Motion Charts use categorical, ordinal, nominal, discrete and continuous types of variables.
Motion Chart Controls
- Refer to the Complete List of SOCR Charts and the Charts Video Tutorials
- 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 hte corresponging 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 KKey and any other measurements you are interessted in visualizing to the other variables (X and Y axes, color, size, etc.) Category is a label for discreminating different blobs (e.g., state, country, geographic unit, etc.)
