Introduction
Another PlotlyJS visual this week – creating a split violin plot.
We’ll be comparing male and female dating preferences collected from speed dating events between 2002-2004.
EXTRA CREDIT – For those with a little more time on their hands, an extended workout challenge is included; conduct your own data analysis and create a data story to be told in the time it takes to speed date (4 minutes) utilising bookmarks for storyframing and the HTML Content visual to create a countdown timer.
Happy Vizzin’
