In-Depth Information
One of the interesting details that may catch your eye in this case is that the
“number one” fan is a woman. Suspecting that a significant percentage of
basketball fans are men, you may wonder whether a pattern exists between
gender and social connection in this data.
In the Overview task mode, select the Partition tab. As shown in
Figure 11-7
,
the Partition tab provides controls to map a color from each unique data
attribute value, whereas the Ranking tab provides controls to map a range
of colors or sizes to a range of scalar values in the data.
Figure 11-7:
The Partition tab maps node and edge attributes from
categorical data values.
Under Partition, select Nodes. Click the refresh button beside the
drop-down menu, and select Sex. A list of unique values for gender appears,
along with the frequency of occurrence, confirming your suspicion that
more men are on the fan page than women. Choose culturally intuitive
colorsforgender (suchaspink and blue),and aneutral recessive color(such
as white or grey) for null (unspecified) values. Click Apply to see the results
shown in
Figure 11-8
.
