How to load an array of different values with user interaction

Hi All, I have managed to get a sketch working but hitting some stumbling blocks. I display data for a single year (military personal) but I have several years worth of data I would also like to see by clicking a mouse/keyboard button to scroll through the different years and see all the different years of personal changes.

Also I can't figure out how to stop selecting all the circles when point mouse to one circle. Would also like to know how to have it display information (number of soldiers) when I move the cursor over the circle.

NB you may need to download and import the tools mentioned below to get it working:

import org.gicentre.utils.colour.*;  
import org.gicentre.geomap.*;

PImage mapImage;            // Background map image.
Table locationTable;        // Table storing country locations.
Table dataTable;            // Table storing Rmy size.
float dataMin = MAX_FLOAT;  // Used to store min and max data values.
float dataMax = MIN_FLOAT;
ColourTable cTable;    // Will store a Brewer colour table.
GeoMap geoMap;



// Start the sketch and load the data (image and two tables).
void setup()
{
  size(800, 400);
  stroke(180);

  geoMap = new GeoMap(this);
  geoMap.readFile("world");

  textAlign(LEFT, BOTTOM);
  textSize(18);


  // Load the background map.
  // mapImage = loadImage("countryOutlines.png");

  // Load data from tables
  locationTable = loadTable("countryLocations.tsv", "header,tsv");
  dataTable     = loadTable("indicator_army_total.csv", "header,csv");

  // Find the minimum and maximum values
  for (int row=0; row<dataTable.getRowCount (); row++)
  {
    dataMin = min(dataMin, dataTable.getInt(row, "2008")); 
    dataMax = max(dataMax, dataTable.getInt(row, "2008"));
  }
}

// Plots the data over the background map.
void draw()
{
  background(202, 226, 245);  // Ocean colour
  stroke(0, 40);               // Boundary colour
  fill(206, 173, 146);          // Land colour
  geoMap.draw();              // Draw the entire map.
  // Set the appearance of the data circles.
  fill(200, 0, 0, 80);
  strokeWeight(0.2);

  int id = geoMap.getID(mouseX, mouseY);
  if (id != -1)
  {
    fill(180, 120, 120);
    geoMap.draw(id);

    String name = geoMap.getAttributes().getString(id, 3);
    fill(0);
    text(name, mouseX+5, mouseY-5);
  }


  // Draw the background image taking up the full width and height of sketch.
  // image(mapImage, 0, 0, width, height);



  // Go through each row in table drawing each data item as a circle.
  for (int row=0; row<dataTable.getRowCount (); row++)
  {
    String countryName = dataTable.getString(row, "CountryName");
    float data2008     = dataTable.getInt(row, "2008");
    float circleSize = map(data2008, dataMin, dataMax, 0, 100);

    // Find the row in the location table that matches the country in the data table.
    TableRow countryRow = locationTable.findRow(countryName, "CountryName");

    // It is possible that we cannot find countryName (from the dataTable) in the
    // location table, so only attempt to plot the circle if country is found in both.
    if (countryRow != null)
    {   
      // Extract the latitude and longitude from the row we have found.
      float latitude  = countryRow.getFloat("latitude");
      float longitude = countryRow.getFloat("longitude");

      // Scale the latitude and longitude to fit in the sketch.
      float x = map(longitude, -180, 180, 0, width);
      float y = map(latitude, -90, 90, height, 0);
      ellipse(x, y, circleSize, circleSize);
    }
  }
}

    we can't run it because we don't have countryLocations and the army csv file

    1.

    in line 74 you read a row. Here you want to have a var yearString that holds "2008" . Then on keyPressed() you change it.

    2.

    you draw the ellipses - when we have a mousePressed and dist() to that ellipse from mouseX, mouseY when dist< radius or so, its near

  • did you try my points 1+2 ?

    thanks

  • Hi Chrisir, I had a look at point 1 but didn't get too far. To be honest I'm not an experting in processing. On line 74 you recommended using var yearString. How would I go about this. I'm guessing I would need to declare something before the void setup()

    Sorry for the beginner type questions.

  • yes

    String yearString = "2008";

  • I'll look into it

  • thanks I did that step I'm getting an error "cannot convert from int to string" Also in your second suggestion still researching this. Many thanks for your help.

    ok some remarks. I think the map delivers country names. Line 59.

    When we look up those country names, they have to match.

    Otherwise it doesnt't work. E.g. map delivers Yemen, in the data file it's yemen rep. - no match. So you need to correct the data file. Also Greenland and Antarctica don't have a match (not in the data file?).

    Those are witten in the direct window below the Code.

    Also: I didn't find your Congo (Kinshasa) I didn't find your S. Sudan I didn't find your Congo (Brazzaville(?))

    Kosovo, Slovakia, Macedonia......

    Ivory Coast

    W. Sahara

    Bosnia and Herz

    2009 and 2010 don't have data so we can end at 2008 if you like (function manageYear())

    that's how I would do it.

    you can use mouseWheel and +/- to change the year.

    Mouse: Country and circle get highlighted, Name of Country and number of Soldiers are shown.

    mouse click does nothing

    maybe mention mouseWheel in the HUD where the year and +/- is displayed

    you need to do some house cleaning in the code I guess

    I am not sure about findMinMax and dataMin/dataMax - shouldn't they be the same for all years?

    Good luck!

    Chrisir ;-)

  • Awesome thanks very much

  • no problem...

    ;-)
