21:null 22:["$","title",null,{"children":"Week 5 Exercise: Color scale design and implementation (due Oct 8) | Simranjeet Singh | Observable"}] 27:T546,Up to this point, we hadn't generated any legends for our plots. In many cases, legends weren't needed with most of the simple scatter plots we created with D3. However, as we start to approach more unique chart types and interact with color scales, it is becoming much more useful to start generating legends alongside our plots. This part is divided into 2 major subparts: 1. 1A: Understanding Scale, Domain, and Range [16%] 2. 1B: Legends, Practicing with Colors [9%] The goals of this part of the exercise are to familiarize you with generating color scales (i.e. understanding the causal links between `d3.scale`, `domain()`, and `range()`) as well as generating custom legends for your plots within the Observable environment.

[NOTE]: About Legends, D3, and Observable

To help abstract away some of the difficulties with generating legends, we have imported the following package in the Appendix. This is what it looks like:

import {Legend, Swatches} from "@d3/color-legend"

At some point in time, we highly encourage that you look at the source notebook to understand how these legends are generated and how you can incorporate their code implementations into your own charts.

28:T709,### 1A. Understanding Scale, Domain, and Range (16%) In our previous scatter plots, we had to define our X- and Y-axes using scales. Recall that every time we did so, it was a 3-step operation (sometimes a two-step operation, for reasons we'll explore further): 1. Define the scale type we want to use (e.g. `d3.scaleLinear()`, `d3.scaleLog()`, `d3.scaleSequential()`). 2. Indicate a `.domain()` that defined either the extents or explicit values of the data feature we wanted to represent. 3. Indicate a `.range()` that defined how the domain would be mapped to the pixels of our SVG chart. It is incredibly useful for you to understand the various types of D3 scales provided by D3. As a general rule of thumb, consider these when making your choices: 1. What **data type** is the feature I am working with? Is it quantitative data? Ordinal/nominal data? Time data? 2. Depending on the data type of the feature, what **scale** do I need? Linear, Log, Time, Sequential, etc.? 3. In the end, to what pixel **range** do I want to map the feature values to? Let's practice with some manually defined scales. In this part, you will be provided several unique scenarios. _Read each scenario carefully_, and generate the proper scale. Using your scale, provide an answer to each prompt.

[NOTE]

Some scenarios come with data described to you; others refer to imported datasets. For scenarios with the data described to you, use manually defined values (ex. 400, 1000); for scenarios with either data or dimensional variables provided, use the dataset or variables instead. You will not get credit if you do not follow scenario prompts corrected.

29:T4b6,### Using Factory/Generator Functions v.s. Custom Functions The color legends we generated in Part 1B were generated from **factory** or **generator** functions that we imported from another Observable notebook. It's provided in the [_Appendix_](#appendix), but here's how we imported it: ```js import {Legend, Swatches} from "@d3/color-legend" ``` Functions like `Legend` and `Swatches` are factory functions that take a D3 color scale and return a newly generated SVG legend. We can then use that SVG as an element within our own chart (indeed, SVGs can in fact have child SVGs inside of them).

[NOTE]

The term "factory function" has a broader definition as far as JavaScript lexicon goes. Read up more about their implementation in this helpful article that discusses factory functions with JavaScript Objects.

However, for our purposes, it's typically useful to know and understand how we can create our own customized legends for our charts via D3.js. This part will focus on not just bubble charts but also how to create our own custom legends.2a:T6ba,

[TO-DO]

We're going to have a chart that is 1000px wide and 600px tall entirely, including margins. The inner chart itself (where the data will be placed) is 700px wide and 500px tall. Consequently, we have a 50px upper and lower margin as well as a 50px margin to the left and a 250px margin on the right. With this knowledge, generate the following scales assuming that your origin point is in reference to an inner chart that'll be nested within our svg, like we've done for Exercise #4:

x_scale maps the GDP data linearly from the extents of the GDP data to the X-axis. (3%)
y_scale maps the life expectancy linearly from the extents of the life expectancy data to the Y-axis. (3%)
c_scale maps the continent names (alphabetically sorted) to the provided continent_colors array. (3%)
s_scale maps the population size from the extents of the population data to a range between 4 and 40. The mapping applies a square root operation to the population value first before mapping to point radius, and we are expecting a very specific scale type that D3 provides (i.e. you should not separately calculate the square root of the population column manually). (3%)

[HINT]

You might want to review D3.js' scale operations to accomplish the square-root scaling for population.

Let's generate a bubble chart to render the Gapminder data. It is really just like a scatter plot, except that we are applying a sizing to each data point. You must do the following:

Create new container and inner chart variables that reference newly created <svg> and <g> elements with the following sizes: (11%)
- The container is 1000px wide and 600px tall entirely, including margins. (2%)
- The inner chart is transformed to account for the following margins: 50px top, 50px bottom, 50px left, and 250px right. (6%)
- The plot is titled "Health Statistics per Region" with the X-axis titled "GDP per Capita" and the Y-axis titled "Life Expectancy (Avg. Years)" (3%)
Create a new x_axis variable that references a newly-created X-axis. The X-axis should represent the gdpPercap feature, be placed at the bottom of the inner chart, and use the x_scale we created in Part 2A. (3%)
Create a new y_axis variable that references a newly-created Y-axis. The Y-axis should represent the "lifeExp" feature, be placed to the left of the inner chart, and use the y_scale we created in Part 2A. (3%)
Populate the inner chart with data from the Gapminder dataset. Each circle must have the following properties: (8%)
- The position of each circle cx and cy are properly placed for each country. (2%)
- The radius of each circle r is set by s_scale and the pop feature (2%)
- The filled color of each circle fill is set by c_scale and the continent feature. (2%)
- The stroke and stroke-width styles of each circle are set to "black" and 1px, respectively. (2%)

Create a new color legend for the continent encoding and place it within the right margin of our plot:

Create a new color_legend variable that references a <g> appended to _with_color_.container. Translate the legend 770px to the right and 50px downward. (2%)
Using the alphabetically sorted unique continent names from gapminder_data, append one circle for each continent. Each circle should have a radius of 8px, and the circles should be vertically spaced 30px apart. Use c_scale to determine each circle's fill color. (3%)
Append a text label next to each circle containing its corresponding continent name. The labels should be vertically aligned with their circles. (3%)
Add a text element at the top of the legend (at position (0,0)) with the title "Continent". Set its font-weight to "bold". (2%)

You do not have to be 100% precise with the sample solution provided. As long as they look similar, or as long as you are styling the element to be legible, then you will get points.

[HINT]

There's actually many ways to create the color legend, given what we described above. For example, you can manually add each individual continent and corresponding color. Or, you can use the same chart-generating logic to create a new colored circle and text item for each item in an array of continents. As long as the conditions above are met, you will get the grade for this.

Create a new size legend that communicates how population is mapped to point radius. Place it below the continent legend within the right margin of the plot:

You are provided with population_legend representing populations of 10 million, 100 million, and 1 billion. Create a new size_legend variable that references a <g> appended to _with_sizes_.container. Translate the legend 770px to the right and 250px downward. (2%)
Add a text element at the top (at position (0,0)) of the legend titled "Population", with its font-weight set to "bold". (2%)
Using population_legend, append one circle for each population value. Use the existing s_scale to determine the radius of each circle. Vertically position the circles so that they do not overlap. (3%)
Append a text label next to each circle showing its corresponding population. Display the values as "10M", "100M", and "1B". (3%)

You do not have to be 100% precise with the sample solution provided. As long as they look similar, or as long as you are styling the element to be legible, then you will get points. To help you, we've provided the pixel positions for each of the circles in the size legend as size_positions.

Your job is to complete the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. Right now, it's just a black box; we've already implemented the CSS styling for you, so you should focus primarily on the plotting logic. The final chart must show the following:

The chart must be titled "Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram". The X-axis must be titled "Temperature". The Y-axis must be titled "Luminosity". (3%)

The X-axis (hz_x_axis) must represent the Temperature of stars. The scale (hz_x_scale) is a linear scale. The scale increments from left to right. It must be positioned at the bottom of the chart. (4%)

The Y-axis (hz_y_axis) must represent the Luminosity of stars. The scale (hz_y_scale) is also a linear scale. The scale increments from top to bottom. It must be positioned to the left of the chart. (4%)

The points of the scatter plot must represent a star each (i.e. a row in the star_data). Graphically, stars must be circle points. Points must be colored using the bv2rgb() function. Each point must have a radius set to 0.5. (4%)

There is no need to create a legend for this chart.

In this part, we will practice generating color scales visually in color legends.\n\nFor this part, you will be run through several scenarios like in Part 1A. Pay attention to the descriptions of each prompt. All you need to do here is generate the color scales; the notebook is configured to auto-generate the SVGs of the legends.\n\n
