Hi again,
Can you provide a link that opens Shuffleboard V1.1? I failed to find one 😬 and I want to remember exactly how Set Strategy works!
Thanks, Bill
Hello Steen,
Here is a link to Version 2.0 of the game, the one that doesn’t allow you to set a strategy (in case you lose the one you have saved on Google Drive).
Your note about magic moments is highly motivating. I wish I could promise that I will be able to free up some resources to give you back what you desire. At least you have motivated me to put it high up on my “to do” list!

Hello David,
Yes, there is! See Tim Erickson’s wonderful set of CODAP plugins
Near the bottom of his page is one called Scrambler. You can drag or import the URL for this plugin into your CODAP document that has your dataset. Click on the number of times you want to do the scrambling. Voilá!

Hi Jessica and Jacob,
Just checked and am not having troubles opening files with CODAP. Can you give more details about where the file is located and the method by which you are attempting to open it?
Jessica you mention you are “sharing files” with your colleague. Be aware that if two people open the same Google Drive file at the same time and make changes, this can lead to confusing behavior and corrupt files at worst.

Hello Jacob,
Sorry but there is no way to duplicate CODAP components within a document.
Thanks for the question,
Bill
Hello Jacob,
Thanks for letting us know that you also would appreciate being able to change the ranges of the bands.
The bands are currently chosen such that each has approximately 20% of the values. This frequently leads to oddness, especially with highly skew distributions.
Our plan is to make it possible to drag the boundaries between bands on the legend and to make it possible add or delete bands.

I’m not sure what you mean by “stuck in step 3.” Can you describe more about what you are unable to do?
If your computer can access the Internet through a browser CODAP should work fine for you. Caveats: Chrome works a bit better than other browsers, and a mouse or trackpad work better than touch.
Measures for Selection now works for all measures, not just the least squares regression line.
Once enabled from the eyeball menu measures like the mean or median will respond to selection. So, for example, in the Mammals example document, if you are showing the mean of Lifespan on a plot, the mean will not show until you have some cases selected. Once you do, the mean showing will be the mean Lifespan of just those cases.
Hello Jerod,
Unfortunately, no. You can, of course, define a new attribute with the formula:
log(xxx)
where xxx is the name of the attribute whose values you wish to plot.

Hello Elizabeth,
CODAP documents can be embedded as iFrames in other web pages where they remain fully interactive. I don’t have experience with Story Maps, but perhaps this will work there.
- From CODAP’s “hamburger” menu choose Share/Get link to shared view (as shown in the enclosed screenshot.).
- In the resulting dialog box choose Embed.
- Copy the embed code and paste it into the web page html.
- Adjust the dimensions to fit your content.
- You can, if you like, include the URL parameter ?embeddedMode=yes
to remove the CODAP tool shelf. (URL parameters are explained here.)
Please let us know if this works for you or if you have additional question.

Answer: CODAP graphs can only bin one numerical axis. But you can create bins formulaically for a second numeric attribute as shown here. This document randomly generated values for Height and Weight and a slider named interval to control the bin width for a third attribute named Weight_binned. The formula for Weight_binned is
floor(Weight/interval)*interval+" to " +ceil(Weight/interval)*intervalThe enclosed screenshot shows the result plot with both numeric attributes binned.

Hi Travis,
I was able to create binned plots with the data you sent. Here is a short video.
Any idea what you’re doing differently?
Bill
Hi Travis,
I just verified that binning works for me with 500 observations. Can you send a shared link to the document that is giving trouble?
Bill
I’m so glad you ask. This feature came about as kind of special for the Zoom In Science project. It works just as you describe for a LSRL in a scatterplot. We never got around to extending it to other measures and I’ve felt very guilty about that.
Now, with your prompting, I’ll move it up to the top of the list!
Bill
