Big shooters
Traditionally, the tallest basketball players are in the center position, and they primarily shoot close to the basket. However, there has been a trend towards all positions shooting more three-point field goals in recent years.
The agency has a scatter plot visualizing "three_point_perc" versus "field_goal_perc" for centers and power forwards in the NBA. The dataset has been filtered for each position, and Bokeh source objects named centers and power_forwards have been preloaded for you. TOOLTIPS has also been created to display player names and average points per game.
The agency has asked you to change the plot's glyph settings to aid interpretation.
This exercise is part of the course
Interactive Data Visualization with Bokeh
Exercise instructions
- Update the glyph attribute of
center_glyphsandpower_forward_glyphsto 20 pixels and 10 pixels, respectively. - Update the fill color attribute of
center_glyphsandpower_forward_glyphsto red and yellow, respectively.
Hands-on interactive exercise
Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.
fig = figure(x_axis_label="Field Goal Percentage", y_axis_label="Three Point Field Goal Percentage", tooltips = TOOLTIPS)
center_glyphs = fig.circle(x="field_goal_perc", y="three_point_perc", source=centers, legend_label="Center", fill_alpha=0.2)
power_forward_glyphs = fig.circle(x="field_goal_perc", y="three_point_perc", source=power_forwards, legend_label="Power Forward", fill_color="green", fill_alpha=0.6)
# Update glyph size
center_glyphs.____.____ = ____
power_forward_glyphs.____.____ = ____
# Update glyph fill_color
center_glyphs.____.____ = "____"
power_forward_glyphs.____.____ = "____"
