This visualization displays U.S. police shootings by month and victim race using a bar chart, revealing that shooting totals remain consistently high over time with white victims comprising the largest share. It aggregates CSV data from a public dataset, transforming dates into monthly periods and grouping counts by race. The chart is built with the Vega-Lite API, which wraps Vega and Vega-Lite, and automatically renders and exports to SVG. Custom axis styling and tooltips enhance readability.

AI-generated description

A visualization constructed using the vega-lite-api.

Realized my first sketch. While realizing this visualization, I find it out that "TimeUnit" in vegalite API is defined as "temporal" field. That took me a lot of time to got understood.

By this visualization, we can tell that police shootings keep at a level and never go down. Besides, white victims accounted for the largest number of the shootings all time.

The data shown here comes from the US Police Shootings.

US Police Shootings Visialization

A bar chart visualizes the frequency of US police shootings, grouped by the type of arms involved and colored by the victim's race, with tooltips showing exact counts. The visualization is built using the vega-lite-api to define the bar marks and encodings, while d3.csv loads the shootings dataset from a gist repository. Vega and Vega-Lite render the chart, with vega-tooltip providing interactive details, and a custom config adjusts font sizes and axis styles for readability. The chart fills the entire browser window, using the dataset's categorical and quantitative fields directly.

USA police shootings

A stacked bar chart displays the total number of police shootings per state, with each bar segmented by race to show demographic distribution. The visualization uses the vega-lite-api, building a bar mark with grouped aggregation via `vl.groupby` on state and race, and encodes counts as the y-axis. Data is loaded as CSV from a Kaggle-hosted gist using `d3.csv`. The chart is rendered with Vega-Lite, styled with custom axis and label configuration, and includes tooltips for count and race details.

Fatal Police Shootings Bar Menu

This visualization presents a stacked bar chart of fatal police shootings in the United States, with the X axis showing the victim's race and the bars color-coded by the victim's "flee" status at the time of the incident. The chart uses a count aggregation to display the total number of fatalities per race, with each segment representing a different flight behavior. Built with React and the Vega-Lite API, it loads data from the Washington Post's Fatal Police Shootings database via d3.csv, while the chart is rendered using vega and vega-tooltip for interactive details. The appearance is customized through a Vega-Lite config that adjusts font sizes and axis colors for readability.

Fatal Police Shootings Grouped Bar Chart

This grouped bar chart visualizes fatal police shootings from the Washington Post database, counting victims by age range along the x-axis and race as color-coded grouped bars. The visualization reveals that Black non-Hispanic and Hispanic individuals account for disproportionately more shooting victims under age 40 compared to U.S. Census demographics. Built with d3.v5 and Vega-Lite, the code loads CSV data via `d3.csv` and renders the chart using `vl.markBar()` with column and x field encodings for binning, y-axis count aggregation, and tooltip interactions. The interface uses Vega-Lite API methods like `vl.column().fieldN()` and `vl.color().fieldN()` to construct the visual encoding programmatically.
