What are some examples of data visualization in Processing?

Processing offers various ways to visualize data, such as bar charts, scatter plots, and heat maps. Would you like to see specific examples?

Yes, can you show me a simple bar chart example?

Sure! Here's a basic example of a bar chart in Processing:

int[] values = {50, 80, 30, 60, 90};

void setup() {
  size(400, 300);
}

void draw() {
  background(255);
  for (int i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
    rect(i * 50, height - values[i], 40, values[i]);
  }
}

This code creates a simple bar chart based on the values array.

That looks great! Can you explain how the code works?

Of course! The setup() function initializes the canvas size, and the draw() function continuously renders the bars. Each bar's height corresponds to the values in the array, and they are spaced apart by multiplying the index by 50.

Thanks! What other types of visualizations can I create?

You can create line graphs, pie charts, scatter plots, and even interactive visualizations. Would you like to explore any specific type?
