Bubblemap template for d3.js





A template for bubblemaps in d3.js. This example uses all the concept described in the bubblemap section. It has a color scale highlighting continents, bubble size are mapped to frequency, a legend is provided.


Bubble map section

Steps:

  • This is the template I start with to build a bubblemap.

  • Data are based on my #surf project where I harvested tweets containing the #surf hashtag for a year. More about it here.

  • This template just uses all the concepts described in the bubblemap section.
