Visualizing Modal Split Values: Creating Grouped Bar Charts with ggplot2 and tidyr
Introduction to Grouped Bar Charts for Modal Split Values In this article, we will explore how to create a grouped bar chart using modal split values from a data frame. The goal is to visualize the percentage of vehicle usage for different path lengths (under 5 km, 5-10km, 10-20km, etc.) in a single plot. Background The modal split is a concept used in transportation studies to represent the proportion of trips made using different modes of transport.

Filtering DataFrames Based on Missing Column Date
Filter DataFrames Based on Missing Column Date ===================================================== In this article, we will explore how to filter a DataFrame based on the presence or absence of a specific column. We will focus on using pandas, a popular library for data manipulation and analysis in Python. Introduction When working with DataFrames, it is not uncommon to encounter columns that are missing or have been dropped during data processing. In this case, we need to find a way to identify rows where a specific column does not exist.

Integrating pandas DataFrame with Folium and Vega Chart Popup for Interactive Visualizations
Integrating pandas DataFrame with Folium and Vega Chart Popup In this article, we will explore how to integrate a pandas DataFrame with Folium and create a Vega chart popup that displays data from the DataFrame. Introduction Folium is an interactive visualization library for Python that allows us to create maps with various markers, popups, and overlays. However, one of its limitations is the inability to display dynamic data directly within the map’s popup without pre-rendering it as static HTML.
