Documentation

[MGE]

Greetings,

Are there any tutorials or documentation that specifically describe how to create the various visualisations? I am particularly interested in charts and timelines.

Thank you in advance for your help.

With kind Regards,

Michael Guravage

Hi Michael,

Well, there are no specific tutorials or documentation about your needs, but we're working on it ;)

Still you can use the following resources as a starting point:

• http://daviz.eionet.europa.eu/
• http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/daviz
• http://daviz.eionet.europa.eu/visualisations/electricity-generated-from-renewable-sources-eurostat#tab-daviz-timeline

If you still don't manage to figure out how things works, don't hesitate to ask for help on this list ;)

Cheers,
Alin

Hi Michael,

Here is a short screen-cast that I just made on how to add a simple motion chart to your Daviz Visualization using GHG-vs-GDP.tsv file:

Have a nice weekend,

Dear Alin,

Thanks for your speedy response. 

My data lends itself to presentation in various chart forms. I've got eea.daviz up and running in a new Plone 4.2 instance. I've even uploaded several csv datasets. I see the default columnar representation, but I would very much like to learn how to render it as a google chart.  If I upload your 'GHG per capita vs GDP per capita in Europe' data, could you talk me through the steps to display this as a simple scatter plot?

We could correspond via email or google chat.

With kind regards,

Michael

Yap, I used the trunk versions of packages for that screencast.

I just released the latest code of eea.daviz and dependencies on pypi and plone.org, so please update.

Cheers,
Alin

Hi Michael,

Sorry for the delayed answer, I had some family health issues these days. Did you manage to fix it?

Do you have the same issues on a fresh new Plone instance?

If so, can you check JavaScript errors with firebug and provide a more detailed traceback for it?


About PloneConf, yes, we'll be there and there I will tell you more about eea.daviz: http://www.ploneconf.org/the-event/talks/conference-talks/data-visualization-in-plone ;)

Also, my colleague David will talk about some other powerful eea. packages: http://www.ploneconf.org/the-event/talks/conference-talks/empowered-widgets-and-portal-searches-with-eea.-packages


Cheers,
Alin

Alin,

Yes, I remember doing the same for faceted navigation. Unfortunately, performing the saves have no affect, the behavior is unchanged. 

On a completely separate topic, will you attend the upcoming Plone conference in Arnhem.

Cheers,

Michael

It seems to be a javascript error out there.
