Section 1: A Basic Chart Begins

We've organised the page into sections, with each section containing a chart, title and a description. Here, we can describe the chart and give some context. As a first example, we're using a basic chart from our repo.

Section 2: A Basic Chart

White founts falling in the courts of the sun, And the Soldan of Byzantium is smiling as they run; There is laughter like the fountains in that face of all men feared, It stirs the forest darkness, the darkness of his beard, It curls the blood-red crescent, the crescent of his lips, For the inmost sea of all the earth is shaken with his ships.

Section 3: A Basic Chart Returns

They have dared the white republics up the capes of Italy, They have dashed the Adriatic round the Lion of the Sea, And the Pope has cast his arms abroad for agony and loss, And called the kings of Christendom for swords about the Cross, The cold queen of England is looking in the glass; The shadow of the Valois is yawning at the Mass; From evening isles fantastical rings faint the Spanish gun, And the Lord upon the Golden Horn is laughing in the sun.

Week 2 Charts

US GDP Over Time

Dim drums throbbing, in the hills half heard, Where only on a nameless throne a crownless prince has stirred, Where, risen from a doubtful seat and half attainted stall, The last knight of Europe takes weapons from the wall, The last and lingering troubadour to whom the bird has sung, That once went singing southward when all the world was young, In that enormous silence, tiny and unafraid, Comes up along a winding road the noise of the Crusade.

Ukraine Grain Imports by Year

Strong gongs groaning as the guns boom far, Don John of Austria is going to the war, Stiff flags straining in the night-blasts cold In the gloom black-purple, in the glint old-gold, Torchlight crimson on the copper kettle-drums, Then the tuckets, then the trumpets, then the cannon, and he comes. Don John laughing in the brave beard curled, Spurning of his stirrups like the thrones of all the world, Holding his head up for a flag of all the free. Love-light of Spain—hurrah! Death-light of Africa! Don John of Austria Is riding to the sea.

UK Worker Productivity

I went to the Legacies of Empire talk, and frankly it didn't discuss much economics. I've done my best to create charts on inequality and productivity.

This demonstrates some of the systemic inequalities Britons face despite the ever increasing productivity.

Spurious Correlations

This is a scatterplot and regression line that demonstrate the high correlation between higher temperature and an increased amount of shark attacks.

Mothers' Height When Giving Birth

This is a histogram showing the distribution of mothers' heights in US territories. I chose this dataset because it is relatively close to a normal distribution, which I find interesting.

These two charts both show the median price of an 800g loaf of white bread in the UK. The first shows a snapshot of a given year across the whole nation. The second shows a snapshot of a given region across the whole time period.

Levelised Cost of Solar Power

This is one interactive element I'm experimenting with for my final project; using a date selector to narrow or widen the field of investigation.

Levelised Cost of Geothermal Power

This is another interactive element I'm experimenting with; using a dropdown menu to switch between different technologies for projecting LCOE.
