lyra's Introduction

Lyra

Lyra is an interactive environment that enables custom visualization design without writing any code. Graphical “marks” can be bound to data fields using property drop zones; dynamically positioned using connectors; and directly moved, rotated, and resized using handles. Lyra also provides a data pipeline interface for iterative visual specification of data transformations and layout algorithms. Lyra is more expressive than interactive systems like Tableau, allowing designers to create custom visualizations comparable to hand-coded visualizations built with D3 or Processing. These visualizations can then be easily published and reused on the Web.

This is the working branch for Lyra 2 and does not contain all functionality. A deployed version of Lyra 1 is available online. For more information, check out the Lyra wiki.

To build a stable version of Lyra 1, see the master branch. For a stable but not fully-featured version of Lyra 2, see the lyra2 branch.

Local Development

Installation

To work on Lyra locally, you must have node and yarn installed on your computer. Download this repository with Git, then (from the command prompt or terminal) check out the lyra2 development branch with the command

git checkout lyra2019

Once you are on the lyra2 branch, run

yarn install

to install the project's code dependencies.

Start the local webserver with the command:

yarn start

Lyra should now be running at http://localhost:8080! This web server will auto-reload when you change the JavaScript code; manually re-building with npm run build should only be necessary if you update the SCSS stylesheets.

lyra's Issues

Add offset second mark added

lyra-15

I added text first and then I drag second text into the canvas. Should it be offset from the first one to aid selection?

Create unit tests

Put this off as long as possible. But adding features for #17 introduced a number of show-stopping regressions. This is not good.

Stylesheet/UI review

  • Use SASS/LESS
  • Tighten property inspectors
  • Fix "accordion" of marks. Perhaps animation? Or split tree listing + properties inspector?

Datatable doesn't support GeoJSON

Perhaps we want to rewrite the data table using our own library since we're really pushing dataTables beyond what it was meant to be doing.

I was changing many item on the screen and I made a mistake and click undo. Then all my work disappears and Uncaught TypeError is shown in the console.

If I encounter this again, I will provide more steps about what I did.

Group injection should actually inject group into app

To make clearer what group injection is doing, have it add a group mark under the current layer, rather than doing everything through callbacks. We'll likely want to make this group mark more constrained (e.g. not being able to change the pipeline, or apply a visual transformation?).

Replay constructing a visualization

Once we have the ability to reimport Lyra states, it should be fairly trivial to save an array of states and then "replay" them. It's a story!

I don't think we need to spend any time on the UI for building out these stories, but there are definitely UI considerations for playing the stories back.

Toggle pipeline items

Right now, you can only delete items in the pipeline. You should be able to toggle them to temporarily disable them.

Map ‘key' to text marks show “undefined"

I’m not sure if this is a bug or my misunderstanding.

With rundown dataset, I facet data by title.
Then I add a text mark and drag title to its text value.
Somehow it only shows “undefined”.

If I drag title to the text, it works just fine.

undefined error when dragging rectangle

I drag rectangle, hoping to move it then I see these in my console.

Need a way to hide axis properties pane.

lyra-5

In this screenshot, we can click on “Key”, “Medal Type”, or “Count" to show properties panel for each axis but there is no way to minimize the panel yet. This can be annoying for small screens.

Maybe there should be a minimize button or we just make the axes title act as show/hide toggle button.

Standardize "hide"

To hide things, sometimes you set width to 0, sometimes you check a box, sometimes you set colours to white. Standardize this.
