Introduction

In our Lab Unit 1, we were assigned to create a heatmap for Basketball 2008 Data and a treemap for posting data collected on the Flowing Data Website. Then, we will follow the steps of the Flowing Data Tutorial.

1- create a heatmap

We are going to create a heatmap in 6 steps.

Step 1: Load and read the data

Now, we’ll load the data using read.csv().

nba <- read.csv("http://datasets.flowingdata.com/ppg2008.csv", sep=",")
nba

Step 2: Sort data

We are going to order the data by least to greatest.

nba <- nba[order(nba$PTS),]

Step 3: Prepare data

AT this step, we want to name the rows by player name instead of row number.

row.names(nba) <- nba$Name

Step 4: Delete column

Now the rows are named by player, and we don’t need the first column anymore so we’ll get rid of it

nba <- nba[,2:20]

Step 5: Prepare data, again

At this moment of our work, we are going to get a data matrix to make our heatmap.

nba_matrix <- data.matrix(nba)

Step 6: Make a heatmap

nba_heatmap <- heatmap(nba_matrix, Rowv=NA, Colv=NA, col = cm.colors(256), scale="column", margins=c(5,10))

Color Selection

Now, we are going to get a different color scheme by using heat.colors(256) instead of cm.colors(256).

nba_heatmap <- heatmap(nba_matrix, Rowv=NA, Colv=NA, col = heat.colors(256), scale="column", margins=c(5,10))

2- create a treemap

Now, we are going to create a treemap in 3 steps.

Step 1: Read the data

data <- read.csv("http://datasets.flowingdata.com/post-data.txt")

Step 2: Load the Portfolio package

library(portfolio)
## Warning: package 'portfolio' was built under R version 3.6.1
## Loading required package: grid
## Loading required package: lattice
## Loading required package: nlme

Step 3: Make the Treemap

Now, it is time to make the treemap with map.market().

map.market(id=data$id, area=data$views, group=data$category, color=data$comments, main="FlowingData Map")

Conclusion

By following the steps of the Flowing Data Tutorial, we created a heatmap for Basketball 2008 Data and a treemap.
