driver/client

Client side filtering using crossfilter Due to limitation of crossfilter with array (or data that has no natrual ordering), this will not work as expected:

  • dimension: function (d) {return [d.x, d.y, d.z]}
  • group: function (d) {return [d.x / 10 , d.y / 10, d.z / 10]}

Therefore, we preform grouping already in the dimension itself, and join the array to a string. Strings have a natural ordering and thus can be used as dimension value.

  • dimension: function (d) -> "d.x/10|d.y/10|d.z/10"
  • group: function (d) {return d;}

Methods

(inner) getData(dataview) → {Promise}

Get data for every filter, and trigger a 'newData' event

Returns a Promise that resolves to the dataview when all data and metadata has been updated

Source:
Parameters:
Name Type Description
dataview Dataview
Returns:
Type:
Promise

(inner) initDataFilter(dataview, filter)

Initialize the data filter, and construct the getData callback function on the filter.

Source:
Parameters:
Name Type Description
dataview Dataview
filter Filter

(inner) releaseDataFilter(dataview, filter)

The opposite or initDataFilter, it should remove the filter and deallocate other configuration related to the filter.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
dataview Dataview
filter Filter

(inner) scan(dataset)

Autoconfigure a dataset:

  1. pick 10 random elements
  2. create facets for their properties
  3. add facets' values over the sample to the facet.description
  4. set range or categories
Source:
Parameters:
Name Type Description
dataset Dataset

(inner) setCategories(dataset, facet)

setCategories finds finds all values on an ordinal (categorial) axis Updates the categorialTransform of the facet

Source:
Parameters:
Name Type Description
dataset Dataset
facet Facet

(inner) setMinMax(dataset, facet)

setMinMax sets the range of a continuous or time facet

Source:
Parameters:
Name Type Description
dataset Dataset
facet Facet

(inner) setPercentiles(dataset, facet)

Calculate 100 percentiles (ie. 1,2,3,4 etc.), and initialize the facet.continuousTransform to an approximate percentile mapping. Use the recommended method from NIST See also the discussion on Wikipedia

Parameters:
Name Type Description
dataset Dataset
facet Facet

(inner) updateDataFilter(filter)

Change the filter parameters for an initialized filter

Parameters:
Name Type Description
filter Filter
