This harder way is to use mouse event and create a \\`<div>\\` element to contain the message, we will see it in the mouse events section.\n\nLet's see how to create tooltips in SVG and D3.js as well!

While missing values are very common in datasets, there are many ways we can deal with it, but none of those is perfect. The easiest is to let it be. It is missing, and we should show the dataset as it is and let the reader to figure out the reason. Like, why 24th and 25th of December? Maybe because it is Christmas and Spotify want to hide the data, or the data collection server is down and the administrator is out and celebrating? Who knows? ¯\\\\\\_(ツ)\\_/¯ We better leave the guess to the readers, instead of "handling" it. Another way is to interpolate it, use the data around the missing dates to make an approximation. It is very hard to do it right. Just like our case, we can see that the 31st, New Year's Eve has a spike, and it is very likely that Christmas and Christmas Eve also have spikes, too. If you set the value of \`selectedMonth\` to "2017-06", you will see that 2nd of June has missing data as well, is it safe to use the date around it to make an estimation? I would think so in this case. But what if it is a weekend, should we estimate it with data of the previous and the next weekend? And these questions go on and on...

So far, visualization researchers have summarized some common patterns: - Selection: select one or multiple data points - Brushing: select multiple neighbouring data points - Pan and Zoom: like cameras, rescale the plot to focus on a different part of the visualization You may notice that, all these patterns are aiming to do one thing, removing excess data points, those out of our region of interest.

In the [last Observable notebook](https://bit.ly/vis-t08-ob), we have made serveral __static__ charts, scatter plots, line charts, parallel coordinates and radar charts.\n\nIn this tutorial, we will make more charts, and on top of that, we add interaction to them. While the visual representation changes upon interaction, we add animation to facilitate smooth transitions.\n\nAll the materials of this tutorial are hosted on [this GitHub repository](https://github.com/leoyuholo/learning-vis-tools/tree/master/tutorial09)\n`","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"ojs","author":"$undefined","summary":"$undefined","output":"$undefined","database":"$undefined"},{"id":16,"value":"md`## Interaction in Visualizations\n\nWhile the information conveyed on a static plot is limited by the dimension of visual encoding space, x-coordinate, y-coordinate, color, etc. and these channels are not equally effective.

The most common form is tooltip.\n\nThere are two ways of making tooltips, one easy and one harder.\n\nThe easy one is to use the built in \\`\\` element of SVG, we will see how to do it immediately.\n\nHowever, the \\`<title>\\` element limits to plain text only, while we may want to embed information other than text, like pictures, links to other web pages, or even a mini visualization in the tooltip. This harder way is to use mouse event and create a \\`<div>\\` element to contain the message, we will see it in the mouse events section.\n\nLet's see how to create tooltips in SVG and D3.js as well!

Every time evaluating the cell, it creates new timers, and after a few times, there are many timers triggering all the way. It is like setting new alarm clocks without turning off the previous one, finally you get tens of alarm clocks ringing.\n\nThus, we have to use a less commonly seen pattern in this notebook.
