Plots2: Planning issue: Improve various graphs across site

[ebarry]

Please describe the idea

Stats graphs appear in many places around the site, so improving these graphs will have a big impact on how people understand activity in Public Lab

Background on graphs

The graphs haven't been improved since they were first created some years ago. Stats and graphs of all kinds are important for how the community can see itself, and for the non-profit to do evaluation with.

Ideas for graphs on /tag/____ pages

like http://publiclab.org/tag/kite-making

• [x] Each graph on pages like /tag/____ pages should be a link to http://publiclab.org/stats
• [x] Each graph should have a labeled X and Y axis
• [x] Each graph should have a tooltip showing the data that is graphed
• [x] Each graph should _potentially_ have a label like "Activity", but perhaps this won't be needed with well-labeled axes or by using the tooltip (although that won't work on mobile)
• [ ] Determine how graphs should appear on mobile

Related graphing issues across the site

• [x] Heat maps on profile pages #2361
• [x] http://publiclab.org/stats page graph styling and features (incorporating above ideas): #2068

Examples of graphs on publiclab.org

• The home of graphs on publiclab.org: https://publiclab.org/stats
• all contributors https://publiclab.org/contributors
• views for contributors by tag such as https://publiclab.org/contributors/wetlands
• https://publiclab.org/tag/kite-mapping
• individual profile pages: https://publiclab.org/people/liz

There are a lot of graphs on https://publiclab.org/stats:

There are a lot of graphs on https://publiclab.org/contributors:

....and views for contributors by tag such as https://publiclab.org/contributors/wetlands

You might arrive at the page above by beginning at a tag page, each of which has a graph, such as https://publiclab.org/tag/kite-mapping:

Each profile page has a graph, such as https://publiclab.org/people/liz:

There are probably other places where graphs appear. :D

@ebarry See https://www.chartkick.com/ They have nice graphs. And they are also very easy to implement.

https://plot.ly/javascript/line-charts/ they also have a nice interface and their graphs satisfy many ideas which you want @ebarry.

Just pining in that this one seems related to issue #529 https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/529

https://frappe.github.io/charts/ is really nice and has several github type charts!

[jywarren]

Yes, let's start with profile pages, what do you think?

[Souravirus]

Yeah I have started working on it

Hello @ebarry , did you get a chance to look at the new graphs? If so kindly update on changes you would like to be made. Also I was testing the new graphs on mobile earlier today this is how they look.

Thanks

Closing this!!!!
