Tutorial

Let's create a Keshif interface for a common and interesting dataset: Nobel Prizes!

First comes the data. We have it here in Google Docs, set to public read mode so that everyone can access this data. Note that this spreadsheet is identified by the ID 0Ai6LdDWgaqgNdDNVcXlscjl4RzRZNl9ZSkNJLU1DWVE , available as a part of the link.

While the sheet has 3 sheets, we are interested in two of them, Prizes and Laureates.

kshf.init({
    chartTitle: "Nobel Prize Winners",
    domID : "#chart_div4",
    dirRoot: "../",
    categoryTextWidth: 306,
    source : {
        gdocId : '0Ai6LdDWgaqgNdDNVcXlscjl4RzRZNl9ZSkNJLU1DWVE',
        sheets : [ {name:"Prizes"}, {name:"Laureates"} ]
    },
    columnsSkip : ["Overall Motivation","laureate_id"],
    list: {
        sortColWidth: 45,
        sortOpts : [ {name: 'Year'} ],
        contentFunc : function(d) {
            var laureateID = d.data[kshf.dt_ColNames.Prizes.laureate_id];
            var laureate = kshf.dt_id.Laureates[laureateID];
            return "<div class=\"iteminfo iteminfo_0\">" +
                laureate.data[kshf.dt_ColNames.Laureates.firstname] + " " + 
                laureate.data[kshf.dt_ColNames.Laureates.surname] +
                "</div>";
        }
    }
});
