Modifying Leaflet Choropleth Map

Posted on

 

For this data visualization, the interactive choropleth map represents the US Population Density. What makes this map unique is that the user can hover over any state and get additional information, unlike Google Fusion where the user needs to click on the state to get information. From GitHub, I have modified the leaflet code by manipulating the height & width of the map, changing the color of the border outline to black when the user hovers over the state, and the width of the border boundaries. An interactive choropleth map is a useful visualization for Police Data and this allows me to be one step closer to creating a data visualization that tells a story of intimate partner violence.

Embed Tableau Public as an iframe in WordPress.org

Posted on

To embed a Tableau Public data visualization as an iframe in WordPress, like this:

1) In the Tableau Public server page, click the Share button and copy the source link (not the embed code). For this example, the source link for the sample above is:
https://public.tableau.com/views/DataVizBook-simple-scatterchart/Sheet1?:embed=y&:display_count=yes&:showTabs=y

2) Remove all of the code after the question mark, to look like this:
https://public.tableau.com/views/DataVizBook-simple-scatterchart/Sheet1?

3) Add this at the very end of the code:
:showVizHome=no&:embed=true

4) The new source link for the sample above is:
https://public.tableau.com/views/DataVizBook-simple-scatterchart/Sheet1?:showVizHome=no&:embed=true

5) Place the new source link inside the iframe plugin shortcode for WordPress, like this:
[iframe src="https://public.tableau.com/views/DataVizBook-simple-scatterchart/Sheet1?:showVizHome=no&:embed=true"]
