Overview

Bubble Chart

This page features multiple segments:

• Year filtering and axis selection

  Here you can select what will the axis of the bubble chart be representing (price, milage, mpg or engine size)

  Below that, you will find a slider that can filter the visualized cars by the year of their production

  

• Bubble chart

  It is a chart of all cars in the dataset (unless some were filtered away)

  The size of the bubble corresponds to the amount of cars represented by that bubble and its position on the y and x axis corresponds to the statistic represented on that axis

  Each bubble corresponds to the set of cars with the same manufacturer

  After you click a bubble of a manufacturer, the bubble chart will become a bubble chart of models from the given manufacturers. Only cars from this manufacturer will be visualized on all the plots on this page

  After you click a bubble of a model, the bubble chart will become a scatter plot for each individual car of that model. Only cars of this model will be visualized on all the plots on this page

  

• Pie charts

  They show how the distribution of transmission type and fuel type looks like for the currently visualized cars

  If you are in the lowest level view of the bubble chart, when you see each individual car, you can hover over a category on the pie chart and cars that have that trait will be highlighted

  

• Gauge

  It shows how many cars are currently being visualized

  For example in the below picture the gauge shows 14,893, because when we filter by cars from years 1989-2021 and click on the Volkswagen bubble we are left with 14,893 cars

  The gauges position on the plot shows the fraction of cars displayed currently in comparison with the amount of cars in the whole dataset

  

• Table

  This is a table with every single currently visualized car.

  You can filter the cars using the search bar and sort by any feature

  

Treemap

In the treemap the size of the rectangle corresponds to the amount of cars in a given category

First the cars are divided by the manufacturers then by the model

If you hover over a field, you will see the amount of cars in that field

You can click on a manufacturer to view details about their models

Line graph

This is a line graph that shows the average value of a selected statistic for cars of a given manufacturer for a given year, where the years are on the x axis and the values on the y axis

You can choose the inspected statistic with a dropdown menu in the top left corner and the included manufacturers can be selected from the menu below it
