Hello Marcos,Welcome to the CODAP Help Forum. In addition to Bridget’s recommendations, I suggest searching for CODAP on YouTube. There you’ll find a CODAP play list, an ESTEEM playlist featuring CODAP and quite a few additional interesting videos.And I second Bridget’s request for more information on what your plans for using CODAP are at this point.Best,Bill
The configuration option (the one that looks like a histogram or bar graph) appears on dot plots and dot charts, but not on scatterplots (because no configuration applies there).
Yes. It should be out by end of this week (6/14). Current build number is 0725, so when that becomes greater, it will be a new release.
Hello Travis,Thanks for letting us know of this problem. I’ve determined its cause and it should be fixed in the next CODAP release.Bill
Hello,We haven’t seen this problem before. Would you mind enclosing a shared link to the CODAP document so we can check it out?When you plot attributes that don’t have such large values does the graph show measures as normal?If it turns out that it has to do with the very large values, you could create a new attribute with a formula that divides **Total World** by one billion. You could give this new attribute units, such as $B.
Hi Andee,How ironic that we didn’t include this information with the document! I did a little research by going to this site and comparing life expectancies of countries there with the ones reported in the CODAP dataset. Though I didn’t get an exact match, it’s pretty clear that the data was drawn from either 2012 or 2013.Bill
No, we don’t have census tract boundaries available, just the boundaries listed in the screenshot of the Variables menu in the formula editor. Plus, you would probably want a lot more than just the boundaries, right? I don’t remember where I got the CA data long ago. Sorry about that.
Hi Travis,Here is one just for California. I’ve never tried to make one for the whole U.S. It would be very large, of course.Bill
Hello Jannis,Thanks very much for bringing this to our attention. This is indeed a new problem. I’ll contact Tim Erickson, the developer of the plugins served from codap.xyz.Bill
Hello,Yes, it’s been awhile! But I reconstructed the CODAP document here so you can play with it.The critical move is, once you have the three attributes in place, to go to the graph’s Configuration menu (looks like a histogram) and choose¬†Bar for Each Point.Hope this helps,Bill
As a postscript, I note that CODAP’s map component¬†does have a heat map feature under its ruler menu. See the enclosed screen capture.Would something like that for the graph satisfy your needs?
Hello,Yes, there certainly situations like the one you describe in which it is not clear how many data points are crowded into a small portion of the graph. And CODAP does not have built-in functionality to automatically remedy things.However, I can think of three techniques to get around this limitation. They are explained in this CODAP document and in the enclosed screenshot.Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll log it as a user feature request.Bill
And here is a link to a CODAP document that contains the Fatal Encounters plugin (in case it wasn’t clear how to get to it).
