Why
Babia components are a set of components for data visualization, there are components for visualize, query and filter data.
This pack of components has the aim of visualize data in several ways. There are separated components and each one has an independent aim:
babiaxr-*
visualize the data prepared by a vismapper in several ways (this type of components must have in the same entity than a vismapper)babiaxr-querier_*
the aim of just query data and save it in the entity that it hasbabiaxr-filterdata
filter the data saved by one of the queriersbabiaxr-ui
for dynamically changing the metrics that are visualized in one chart using a user interface.- And more!
For instance:
<a-entity babiaxr-3dbarchart='legend: true; x_axis: name; z_axis: age; height: size;
data:"[{"key":"David","key2":"2019","size":9},{"key":"David","key2":"2018","size":8},{"key":"David","key2":"2017","size":7},{"key":"David","key2":"2016","size":6},{"key":"David","key2":"2015","size":5},{"key":"Pete","key2":"2011","size":8},{"key":"Pete","key2":"2014","size":7},{"key":"Josh","key2":"2016","size":6},{"key":"Josh","key2":"2015","size":5},{"key":"Jesus","key2":"2016","size":9},{"key":"Jesus","key2":"2011","size":8},{"key":"Jesus","key2":"2014","size":7},{"key":"Jesus","key2":"2016","size":6},{"key":"Jesus","key2":"2015","size":5},{"key":"Jesus","key2":"2016","size":9},{"key":"Steve","key2":"2016","size":9},{"key":"Steve","key2":"2017","size":8},{"key":"Steve","key2":"2014","size":7},{"key":"Steve","key2":"2013","size":6},{"key":"Moreno","key2":"2015","size":5},{"key":"Jesus","key2":"2019","size":10},{"key":"Pete","key2":"2019","size":10}]"'
position="-10 0 0" rotation="0 0 0"></a-entity>
For using the querier/filters/mappers components (see HOW_TO_CHARTS_WITH_QUERIER.md)
<a-entity id="queriertest" babiaxr-querier_json="url: ./data.json;"></a-entity>
<a-entity babiaxr-3dbarchart='from: queriertest; x_axis: name; z_axis: age; height: size; legend: true' position="-10 0 0" rotation="0 0 0"></a-entity>
