Color scales

edit
    • bug fix: the color scale should remain fixed for the whole set to allow easier comparison between years (phab ticket), or the color should show rank ("global position") instead of percentage
    • bug fix: if increase is > 100%, black is currently shown
    • default have colors go from for example blue to red for low to high rather than just a blue scale (phab ticket)
      • @Doc James: This is set by the ["#01f1f0", "#08306b"] bit in Template:Global Heat Maps by Year. (Replacing it with, for example, ["orange", "green"] would switch to orange-green scales.) Could be set to have different defaults and/or allow specific colors through a parameter (maybe min-color= / max-color=, or something). --Yair rand (talk) 21:36, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
        • User:Yair rand it would be cool if users could select the color range that they wish when using the template parameters :-) Is it possible to use "# redyellowblue"[3] Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 10:56, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
          • Much better, but the diff scale is much more clear than the absolute scale. Is quantization necessary? It reduces the number of discernable shades. Also, non-uniform distribution sometimes makes the data differences hard to see. Sometimes there may be a logarithmic distribution of the data. One approach would be to index the values, with colour 1 representing the lowest value in the full matrix, 2=the second lowest, up to <number of years>*<number of countries> for the highest value. That would also solve bug fix no 1 above - to make the color scale fixed for all years.Tomastvivlaren (talk) 16:46, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Interactivity

edit
    • week-by-week or day-by-day statistics, for example of corona/covid-19 deaths per 1 million people in each country.
    • clicking on a country (or marking a group of countries) should give a curve for that country
    • the play button should be replaced with a refresh icon. People believe it is animated because of the play button.
    • add a play features such that it will move through all the years like an animated gif, and/or add a separate year slider (phab ticket)
    • when one hovers their cursor over a country with no data it should say so (phab ticket)
    • allow the nearest year to be used when the year is missing, example of this is here https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-of-the-population-living-in-extreme-poverty
    • allow the ability to zoom or to just show specific regions of the world (like Asia, Europe, North America, South America) similar to the tool here https://sdg-tracker.org/no-poverty (phab ticket)
    • allow the ability to filter on various wikidata properties

Layout

edit
    • the legend / y axis should be graded, at least with a top number, or the nearest value of the curve should be shown with tooltips on mouse over
    • increase the size of the world and make skinnier the year slider, make the legend wider and skinner (phab ticket)
    • allow the interval of years to be set -> mostly fixed

Values

edit
    • allow values other than a percentage
    • allow logarithmic y axis and color scaling
    • allow multi-column dataset, that does not need trimming to three columns
    • allow the number of decimal points shown to be stipulated in parameters
  • Commons datasets
    • Allow pageviews
    • Allow them to be put in categories (phab ticket)

Is to use WP:VideoWiki. Basically download each year as a .png and stitch them together. Will keep the easy updating as new years come out. A little harder to get them going though. And not as dynamic for our readers.

The percent sign comes from the line in Template:Global Heat Maps by Year beginning with {"template": "{{{columnName}}}:, at the end. You could replace the "%" with something like "{{{%|%}}}" to allow |%= to hide the symbol. --Yair rand (talk) 17:28, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
