Please attribute 360info and the data sources when you use and remix these visualisations.
Graphics and embeddable interactives are in the out folder. These can be re-rendered by rendering index.qmd (see below).
Derived data is in the data folder and is regenerated by the analysis.
Our graphics are built with Quarto R and can be found in the*.qmd files. Quarto allows reproducible analysis and visualisation to be done in R, Python or Observable JS.
You'll need to:
- Download and install Quarto
- Download the install R
- Satisfy the R package dependencies. In R:
- Install the
renvpackage withinstall.packages("renv"), - Then run
renv::restore()to install the R package dependencies. - (For problems satisfying R package dependencies, refer to Quarto's documentation on virtual environments.)
- Install the
Now, render the .qmd files to the /out directory with:
quarto renderThe interactive charts in the /out folder use a newer version of the Observable Plot library than the one currently bundled with Quarto. In particular, Observable Plot 0.4.1 supports enhanced accessibility features for users using screen readers.
If you rebuild the charts using the current Quarto release, these accessibility features will not be present (although the chart will otherwise render). To build using the newer version of Observable Plot:
- install the development version of Quarto, and
- modify Quarto's OJS bundle to use Observable Plot 0.4.1 or higher.
These steps aren't required if you're simply serving the version of these charts in the /out folder!
