How to Use

Please make sure you have the live-server extension installed. To activate the live-server, press cmd+shift+p and search for the command Live Server: Open with Live Server. This will open a live server in your browser that's automatically updated with any changes you make to the sketch.js file. Functions you can use to get values out of the dataset are:

• setResponsiveSizing
• getMinValue
• getMaxValue
• getAverageValue
• getTrueFalse
• getUniqueValues
• findByPropertyValue
• getMedianValue
• getSumOfValues

How to add your own data

Get a dataset

Some suggestions:

• Import wikipedia tables into google sheets by using =IMPORTHTML("[DATASETNAME]", "table", 1)
• Take a screenshot of a chart and ask chatGPT to convert it to a table

Upload the data into the folder

If you haven't already, convert your data to .json format, and add it to a new file or overwrite the existing file: the choice is all yours! Whatever you do, make sure the helper functions are able to reach the dataset.

I made a poster and it's almost 4pm, now what??
