2a:null 2b:["$","title",null,{"children":"Census Reporter-type Coal charts with a few lines of code | Christopher L. Keller | Observable"}] 30:T631,md` Occasionally I want a straightforward way to visualize the distribution of individual datapoints along a continuum. I've always liked the way [Census Reporter](https://censusreporter.org/) and [Ryan Pitts](https://twitter.com/ryanpitts), [Joe Germuska](https://twitter.com/JoeGermuska), [Ian Dees](https://twitter.com/iandees) and [Sara Schnadt](https://twitter.com/SaraSchnadt) charted distribution using ["Circles on a Line" — or Coal — charts](https://censusreporter.org/data/distribution/?table=B28002&geo_ids=04000US35,040|01000US&primary_geo_id=04000US35) This manages to recreate Coal charts — with HTML, CSS and a bit of JavaScript — in a reusable way. To use this chart in your Observable notebook, simply import from this notebook: \`\`\`js import { coalChart } from "@chrislkeller/census-reporter-type-coal-chart" \`\`\` **Options**: * **key**: Text or values you want to display on hover. * **value**: Text or values you want to display on hover. * **title**: A string value for a title to be displayed as a H2. **Sources**: * Census Reporter [JS](https://github.com/censusreporter/censusreporter/blob/47ee559d3939ec00d2e39e1f540b277bc50bbff8/censusreporter/apps/census/static/js/comparisons.js#L717) to build COAL charts. * Census Report [CSS](https://github.com/censusreporter/censusreporter/blob/47ee559d3939ec00d2e39e1f540b277bc50bbff8/censusreporter/apps/census/static/css/charts.css#L450) to build COAL charts. **Contributors**: * [Alex Garcia](https://observablehq.com/@asg017) * [Chris Keller](https://observablehq.com/@chrislkeller) `31:Tbca,internetSubscriptions = [ { "name": "Alabama", "value": 81.93590138 }, { "name": "Alaska", "value": 87.97180005 }, { "name": "Arizona", "value": 87.40421526 }, { "name": "Arkansas", "value": 80.08897887 }, { "name": "California", "value": 89.96086982 }, { "name": "Colorado", "value": 91.20649026 }, { "name": "Connecticut", "value": 88.80229399 }, { "name": "Delaware", "value": 88.90040639 }, { "name": "District of Columbia", "value": 87.49528415 }, { "name": "Florida", "value": 86.97322432 }, { "name": "Georgia", "value": 85.18888243 }, { "name": "Hawaii", "value": 88.17964363 }, { "name": "Idaho", "value": 88.80933249 }, { "name": "Illinois", "value": 86.15936766 }, { "name": "Indiana", "value": 84.20557672 }, { "name": "Iowa", "value": 84.43118936 }, { "name": "Kansas", "value": 85.44849512 }, { "name": "Kentucky", "value": 83.37669809 }, { "name": "Louisiana", "value": 80.72565471 }, { "name": "Maine", "value": 85.36761399 }, { "name": "Maryland", "value": 89.22361433 }, { "name": "Massachusetts", "value": 89.11347277 }, { "name": "Michigan", "value": 86.16864993 }, { "name": "Minnesota", "value": 88.28013361 }, { "name": "Mississippi", "value": 77.03023643 }, { "name": "Missouri", "value": 85.04708671 }, { "name": "Montana", "value": 85.65112384 }, { "name": "Nebraska", "value": 87.25481046 }, { "name": "Nevada", "value": 85.76214391 }, { "name": "New Hampshire", "value": 89.46002556 }, { "name": "New Jersey", "value": 89.54444926 }, { "name": "New Mexico", "value": 78.94053591 }, { "name": "New York", "value": 86.45067178 }, { "name": "North Carolina", "value": 85.44218144 }, { "name": "North Dakota", "value": 84.41822582 }, { "name": "Ohio", "value": 85.59572885 }, { "name": "Oklahoma", "value": 83.74752784 }, { "name": "Oregon", "value": 89.32635362 }, { "name": "Pennsylvania", "value": 85.90177973 }, { "name": "Rhode Island", "value": 87.82510671 }, { "name": "South Carolina", "value": 82.85381709 }, { "name": "South Dakota", "value": 85.24614258 }, { "name": "Tennessee", "value": 83.13482654 }, { "name": "Texas", "value": 86.38825389 }, { "name": "Utah", "value": 91.06084358 }, { "name": "Vermont", "value": 84.08361781 }, { "name": "Virginia", "value": 86.88336252 }, { "name": "Washington", "value": 91.38990689 }, { "name": "West Virginia", "value": 81.43248532 }, { "name": "Wisconsin", "value": 86.48479462 }, { "name": "Wyoming", "value": 88.09623898 } ]32:T1444,coalChart = function(data, valueof = a => a, options = {}) { // right here... // this is all Alex Garcia (@asg017) if (arguments.length < 3 && typeof valueof === 'object') { options = valueof; valueof = a => a; } // hire him let coal = {}; coal.min = d3.min(data, valueof); coal.max = d3.max(data, valueof); coal.mean = d3.mean(data, valueof); coal.median = d3.median(data, valueof); coal.xScale = d3 .scaleLinear() .range([0, 100]) .domain([coal.min, coal.max]); function drawChart() { return html`
