Week 14 - Volume rendering for scientific viz, Wrap up with Idyll, Publishing Viz

We talk a little bit about publishing, and scientific viz - in particular, volume rendering - and carry on with Idyll.

A fun video about rendering from Pixar is found here.

Data

• Idyll: Corgis per country over time (corgs_per_country_over_time_columns_2020.csv)
• SciViz: We’ll be using the Isolated Galaxy dataset (292 Mb) dataset for sci viz today
• SciViz: We’ll also be using this brain scan data (72Mb)

Links & Code

1. We’ll be building toward a webpage like this today using Idyll’s built-in components.
2. Last week, we got to this Markdown code right here and we’ll start from there this week.
3. Full Markdown code for this week and next week available right here.
4. We’ll also build a few histogram components like:
   • starting with this one
   • then this one
   • and finally this one

Where we got to in class this week:

• This index.idyll file
• This histogram component

Note: see week 12 for the scripts used to generate this dataset.
