Data Visualization in Processing | Generative Art | Tutorial [CC]

This week's tutorial is about importing CSV files into processing to generate data visualizations. Read on for additional examples/ideas of how you can collect, create and visualize data.

Examples:
Book related:
- Best and worst books of last year. (your ratings and maybe avg. ratings too)
- Book categories across the years to see how your taste changed. (You can add your own columns manually for individual results.)
- Your feelings toward each book (stick with 3-5 emotions for easier visualization)

Non-book related:
- Habit tracking
- Vocabulary occurrences in messages between you and your friend/partner/family member
- Feelings before/during/after purchases you've made throughout the month/year (This should be interesting, maybe you can detect a pattern)

Comment any ideas you have. I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks for your tutorials they are really well put together. Some of it is a little beyond my skill level but going through them anyway helps me to learn a bunch of new functions and little tips regardless :) keep it up

Thanks You for this video, it's very useful and inspiring, i have a question, if i want to make a web service for data visualization with processing, what do you recomend?

Thank you, Hadeel for this video. I had this excruciating problem :wink: I want to see both windows at the same time when coding like you do. Each time I run a sketch I must move the display window to see the text editor window. What I must do? Cheers!
