This example visualizes the population of Tokyo from 1920 to 2013 as a line and scatter plot, with the x-axis representing time and the y-axis showing population in millions. The chart corrects a misleading original by using five-year intervals for the time axis and removing overlapping labels, relying instead on gridlines to convey precise values. It is built using Dimple.js for chart construction and D3.js v3 for data loading and SVG rendering, with the data loaded from a TSV file containing the yearly population figures. The rendering uses SVG elements, and the white-filled circles for the scatter series are styled via CSS.

AI-generated description

Dimple.js - Simple data visualization chart

This is an example of a corrected chart from the 'Tokyo' Wikipedia article which contains a chart without proper x-axis labels and spacing.

Critique

  • The x-axis ticks from year 2005 represent just one year, which is misleading for the reader.
  • The messages overlapping the chart are not necessary now that the horizontal grid lines show when the specific population number is exceed.

<sub>NOTE: This example is a mini-project for the Udacity's Data Visualization and D3.js course.</sub>
