A top-level front end / glue setup needs to be created. This should:

• Display the drawing area
• Allow selecting between the three visualizations noted in the README
• Load the data file and send it into the appropriate function calls

x-ref #3

In the front end, in addition to a means of selecting between both histogram views and both bubble chart views, we should also have an "about" page/tab/whatever with some basic info about the application. I have prepared below an example of what this might look like. Feel free to tweak and edit as needed.

State of SC Salary Information Visualization

Completed to satisfy the requirements of University of South Carolina CSCE567
Project-01.

This project visualizes the most up to date (as of March 03 2019) state of SC
salary data. The state of SC has a policy of making the pay rate of all
government employees who make more than 50000 USD per year public information.

This project presents two styles of visualization, in two variations each:

"Bubble Chart" visualizations are designed to show how salary rates stratify
across both agency and job title. Either agency or job title may be selected
for horizontal positioning, and the other parameter will be used to generate
colors for each "bubble" (which represents a single person's salary, agency,
and job title). In this style of visualization, clear stratification can been
seen across different agencies and job titles. This view is not intended to
provide a detailed accounting of each individual's salary data, however a
separate bubble is drawn for each data point -- this lets the data speak for
itself and the human eye detect the strata, rather than attempting to identify
them algorithmicaly. In this view, mousing over a single bubble will highlight
all other bubbles which share it's color (whatever parameter is not used for
horizontal grouping).

"Bar Chart" visualizations are designed to show the distribution of salary data
for different agencies and job titles. Mousing over a single bar in either of
the bar chart views views will show the breakdown of whichever data point is
not used for horizontal grouping (i.e. mousing over a bar in the salary vs
agency chart will show the breakdown of agencies contained within that bar in a
tooltip).

We feel that these visualizations are collectively representative of different
types of information people might wish to examine with respect to SC salary
data:

• How salaries stratify across different agencies and roles
• How salaries are distributed across roles irrespective of agency
• How salaries are distributed across agencies irrespective of role

A general-purpose bubble chart should be implemented, similar to this one. This is similar to one of the homework assignments, so that can probably be used as a starting point. It should support mouseover + tooltips. Animations are not needed as this data is not time series.

A general-purpose histogram render-er needs to be created. It should support mouse rollover with tooltips. Here is one example of such a histogram. Here is a better example that also has tooltips and such.

Ben will fail us if we do not.
