Need help.. Data Related Question, Assorting Information in a Proper Format

edited January 2016 in Questions about Code

Pretty much what I have to do is get the data from the drones.csv file and plug it into processing and make something visual that accurately depicts the data in the different sections. So what I've done is create a green line that displays the years and have the rest of the information go along that line. Can you take a look at it maybe try adding something or just look it over see if it makes sense to you It would be greatly appreciated.

I pretty much just used the MAP tool in order to display the data. Although, Its not visually appealing I feel like more can be done I just don't know what or how to add to it, I've tried several different things that ended up in failure.

If you copy/paste this code into processing you wont be able to run it Unless you the CSV folder into the code because it contains all the data points.. I'm not sure how to attach the CSV file to this post though....

Here's the Code

void setup() {
size(640, 400, P3D);    

  }




void draw() {
  background(0);

   Table data = loadTable("drones.csv", "header,csv"); // Header Section, - Date, DEcimal_date - Min_killed - max-killed - civilin- children - iNJURED





  //translate(width/2, height/2);  // center the Image 
//rotateX(PI/2);


  for (TableRow row : data.rows() ) {


    //Injured
    float injured = row.getFloat("injured"); 
    injured = int(injured); 

    //civilains
     float civilian = row.getFloat("civilian"); 
    civilian = int(civilian); 


    //Children
    float children = row.getFloat("children"); 
    children = int(children); 

    //DATE
  //  float date = row.getFloat("date");  
    float decimal_date = row.getFloat("decimal_date"); // Decimal date is a Float because it has a decimal point
     decimal_date = (decimal_date); 
    //END-DATE

    //KILLED SECTION
   // float min_killed = row.getFloat("min_killed");
    float max_kiled = row.getFloat("max_kiled");
    //min_killed = radians(min_killed); 
    max_kiled = (max_kiled);
    //KILLED SECTION END



    //VISUAL-----------------------


   //CREATING IMAGE FOR DATES/YEARS
 float x1 = map(decimal_date, 2004, 2012, 0, width);   //float x1 = map(decimal_date, 2004, 2012, 0, width);   float x1 = map(decimal_date, 0, 2004, 0, 2012) 
   stroke(0,255,0); // Green will represent the Years
   point(x1, 100);

   //CREATING LINE FOR KILLING RATIO
   float r = 140; //radius 
   float x2  =  map(max_kiled, 2, 84, 0, width);   // gets first value, targets value, high low for both, and sets out displayment.. Maps the 4 functions in the order I applied earlier
   stroke(255,0,0); // red will Represent the deaths
   point(x1,x2);


   //Children
   float children1  =  map(children, 0, 69, 0, width); 
   stroke(255,255,255); // White
   point(x1,children1);

   //injured
   float injured1  =  map(injured, 0, 50, 0, width); 
   stroke(0,0,255); // blue
   point(x1,injured1);


   //
    //civillian 
   float civilian1  =  map(civilian, 0, 81, 0, width); 
   stroke(250,128,114); //Orange
   point(x1,civilian1);

   /*

  //CAMERA
  lights();
  // Change height of the camera with mouseY
  camera(30.0, mouseY, 220.0, // eyeX, eyeY, eyeZ
         0.0, 0.0, 0.0, // centerX, centerY, centerZ
         0.0, 1.0, 0.0); // upX, upY, upZ
         */
  }
