Make Your Own Simple Display

Choose a dataset that interests you - or one that you’re already working with - and use bar-chart, pie-chart, histogram, or scatter-plot to create a simple display that is interesting to you.

3 What display did you create, and what columns did you use?

4 What does the display show? Why would it be interesting to someone else?

Make Your Own Custom Display

5 Think about at least two columns that might give you more insight into your data, and why those other columns matter in your display. Write your observations and questions below.

6 Describe the Custom Display you want to make and what visual cues will enhance the display.

  • Define a row-consuming function that produces custom images for each Row in your dataset using your new column(s).

  • Use your row-consuming function to create a data display that makes the data come alive, and shows the deeper patterns at work.

  • Follow your teacher’s directions for submitting your Pyret file.

8 What new insights did you gain and why couldn’t you see them in the original display?
