Assignment #12

 



I completed my social network visualization using Python in Google Colab, which made the process pretty smooth. Colab was convenient because I didn’t need to install anything manually, everything ran in the browser, and the required libraries were already available. NetworkX worked well for generating the random graph and assigning labels to each node, and using the spring layout made the network easy to read.

I did run into an issue when I tried to use Plotnine, because Colab threw import errors related to the underlying packages. Since Plotnine wouldn’t load, I switched to Matplotlib instead. After making that change, the graph displayed without any problems. This actually made the assignment easier, because Matplotlib produced the visualization in a simple and reliable way.

Overall, the method was effective, and I would use it again. Even though my original plan was to follow the Plotnine example, using Matplotlib still met the requirements and helped me better understand how flexible Python can be for data visualization. Google Colab also made it easy to test and rerun the code until everything worked correctly.

LIS4317 Final Project – Diamonds Dataset Analysis   Kyla Garcia Platform: Tableau Dataset: Diamonds (R built-in, 53,940 observations, 10 variables) Date: November 26, 2025   1. Introduction The prices of diamonds differ according to its Four Cs: Cut, Clarity, Color and Carat. This project discusses the impact of each factor on price and the predictors with the highest strengths. Research Question: To what extent do diamond characteristics predict and influence diamond price?   2. Dataset Overview Variable Description Carat Weight of the diamond Cut Cut quality (Fair, Good, Very Good, Premium, Ideal) Color D–J, from colorless to near-colorless Clarity I1 → IF (low to high clarity) Depth Total depth % Table Width ratio Price Price in USD x, y, z Dimens...

 I had trouble figuring out how to use adobe illustrator. It wasn't that the site was difficult to read it that my file from last week wouldn't work properly when trying to upload. I ended up having to make a map with the same data and using that. Last week's map will look different then this weeks because of that. I chose to go with pretty standard colors nothing too bold just clear to understand. By having red and greens I think it makes it bright enough for people to see. To enhance the map further, I added vector icons to show where the most libraries are and a few simple lines to show boundaries. These additions provided helpful reference points. Gestalt principles helped when deciding where to put labels to help people understand more, Overall the design could use some work, but I feel like it's clear with colors and labels.  https://assets.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:7445a4bf-3c0f-403c-bde1-f8fa220dcefe?view=published
