This visualization loads the Mother Jones Gun Violence dataset and displays it as raw JSON on the page. The data includes details on US mass shootings from 1982 to 2015, such as case names, dates, fatalities, injured counts, venues, weapon types, and mental health indicators. Using D3.js and the dsv-dataset parsing library, the example demonstrates how to fetch, parse, and render the dataset with automatically inferred column types (e.g., dates and numbers). The page presents the data in its JSON form, offering a clear, code-focused starting point for exploring the dataset and building custom visualizations.

AI-generated description

This is a dataset on gun violence.

Originally published in US Mass Shootings, 1982-2015: Data From Mother Jones' Investigation. Downloaded in CSV format from https://github.com/hepplerj/gun-violence/blob/master/data/motherjones.csv. Column types were manually annotated in data.json for use with the automatic type parsing library dsv-dataset

This example page provides the basic code required to load the data and display it on the page (as JSON) using D3.js.

Mass Shootings 1966-2017

This interactive map from Gomitak visualizes mass shootings in the United States from 1966 to 2017, with each event represented by a circle marker whose size reflects the number of fatalities. Users can brush a time-series bar chart to filter events by week, and toggle between views showing incident counts, deaths, or injuries using radio buttons. The visualization combines Mapbox, Leaflet, D3.js, and crossfilter, with markers rendered as SVG vector circles and popups displaying incident summaries. Data comes from a GeoJSON file documenting shooting details such as location, date, and casualty counts.

Data Table Summary - Dataset 1

This example summarizes a dataset of gun deaths in America from 2012 to 2014, sourced from FiveThirtyEight, by displaying the total row count, column count, and file size in kilobytes. It then prints the first 10 rows of the data as JSON. The visualization uses d3.csv to load the data, d3.csvFormat to calculate file size, and D3’s selection and append methods to render the summary as text on a black page with green terminal-style typography.

Making Sense of the Senseless

This visualization, titled “Making Sense of the Senseless,” displays U.S. mass shooting incidents as a bar chart of total victims per year, with bar colors encoding the shooter’s age. It uses the vega-lite-api to construct the chart, with d3.csv loading the dataset from a GitHub gist. The chart is rendered as an SVG via vega and vega-lite, with custom configuration for axis styles and tooltips enabled through vega-tooltip. The visualization emphasizes readability with a dark color scheme and large fonts.

2015 Police Killings Dataset

This example loads the 2015 Police Killings dataset, originally compiled by The Guardian, and displays it as a formatted JSON object on the page. The visualization uses D3.js and the `dsvDataset` library to parse the CSV data according to the column types and metadata defined in a separate JSON file. It demonstrates how to integrate a CSV dataset with a metadata schema, making the data structure explicit and reusable for further analysis or custom visualizations.

HW9Json

This visualization displays the total number of shootings per year from 2010 to 2016, highlighting the overall trend alongside the proportion of fatal incidents. The chart uses a line graph with D3 v4, employing SVG rendering and a time-scaled x-axis. Hovering over the line triggers a tooltip that reveals the exact total and fatal percentage for each year, facilitated by D3’s bisector and mouse event handlers. The data originates from a JSON file, with axes labeled to clarify the year and total shooting counts.

Stacked Barchart NVD3- Gun Violence Events

This stacked bar chart visualizes gun violence events over time, with each segment representing a category of incident and the total height showing the cumulative count per year. Built with Vue and rendered as an SVG, the chart uses NVD3’s animation to transition between states, while the underlying data comes from BuzzFeed’s GitHub repository on mass shooting intervals. The visualization layers multiple series per year, making it easy to compare both annual totals and the relative contribution of each category, all within a clean, MIT-licensed example suitable for reuse in web-based dashboards.

Shooting Data Working Copy

This interactive scatterplot visualizes fatal police shootings in the United States, plotting individual incidents by rank along both axes while allowing users to filter by flee status through a dropdown menu. The visualization loads CSV data from the Washington Post’s Fatal Police Shootings Database, using React hooks for state management and dropdown interactions. D3’s scaleBand and scaleLinear map the racial categories and data points, while custom React components render SVG axes and circles with tooltips, all styled with the Poppins font.
