Custom D3 visualization


Now that we have a slide-out, let's move on to visualizations. We now want to add an information graphic that displays some statistics about the prices of the products. So let's use a box plot! D3 offers a nice example at http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4061502. We will take this code and adapt it for use with this dashboard. Let's start with the CSS for the boxplots. This is located in the index.html section of the tutorial. Copy all of the CSS except for the body class to the dashboard.css file in the app. In that same section, find the function irq, and copy that into the dashboard.js file. Now, find the box.js section. Copy the entire function to a file under appserver/static/js. Download and place a copy of d3.min.js in appserver/static/js. Once these files are in place, add them to the RequireJS stack using the methods described in the last section. D3 won't have a dependency but the box plot requires D3. This completes the initial dependency setup for the visualization...
