Create a bullet graph, based on Stephen Few's spec
- URL parameter-driven display
- Simple installation (one js file,
bullet.js
) - Easy to use - most values have reasonable defaults
- Download
bullet.js
- Create a simple P5.js page (
index.html
is provided as an example) - Serve the
index.html
from a standard web server (local or remote) [n.b. opening it as a local file also works] - Open the
index.html
- Pass in parameters to configure the graph
- Required
- val: Bar's value (no default)
- Optional
- label: Text label (default: empty string)
- max: Maximum value of the graph (default: 100)
- bins: Number of quantitative groups (default: 4)
- width: Width (in pixels) of the entire canvas (in pixels; default: 400)
- height: Height (in pixels) of the canvas (in pixels; default: 30)
- barHeight: Value bar height (in pixels; default: 20)
- fontSize: Label font size (default: 12)
- cross: Cross-bar value (not displayed by default)
- Required
Note: All defaults are defined at the top of bullet.js
