Assignment 4 – Data Visualization

Concept

For this assignment, I drew inspiration from one of the previous students works where they used the 2018 world cup data to create a graph. As a passionate football enthusiast, with football being my favorite sport, and considering that the FIFA world cup is the biggest sports tournament in the world, I decided to collect the data on the total number of goals scored in every World Cup tournament from 1930 to 2022. My goal is to present this data in the form of a bar graph, visually depicting the historical trends and patterns of goals scored across different tournaments.

A highlight of some code that you’re particularly proud of

// Inserting bars
    for (let i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
    let year = data[i].getNum('YEAR');
    let goals = data[i].getNum('GOALS');
    let x = map(year, 1930, 2022, margin+20, width - margin); // mapping the Year
    let y = map(goals, 0, maxGoals, height - margin, margin); // mapping the number of goals
    let barWidth = w / data.length;
      
      
    fill('#E8B6B6'); //color of the bars
    rect(x - barWidth / 2, y, barWidth, height - margin - y); //draws the bar

    fill('#100D0D'); //color of the texts
    text(goals, x+6, y -10); //writes the number of goals
  }
