This project visualizes multivariate data about cat populations in Italian cities using Chernoff Cat glyphs. Each part of the cat (ears, eyes, head, tail) encodes a different demographic variable, allowing for intuitive comparison across cities and regions.
You can view the live demo of the Chernoff Cats visualization here.
- Interactive Cat Plot: Adjust sliders to see how different variables affect the cat glyph.
- City Comparison: View Chernoff Cats for 10 Italian cities and compare their feline demographics.
- Italy Map: Explore a map of Italy with cat glyphs positioned on their respective cities.
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript
- D3.js for SVG manipulation and data binding
