MODERATORS
 

I have been toying around with F1 data and python plots, and got some average gap graphics in gif form, starting at Bahrain and up to Italy.

They are gifs, so check your wi-fi upon entering because there are many on each page, obviously.

Would have posted a few examples here, but apparently Lemmy is not keen on it. Hope imgur's servers do not crap out on me.

Examples:

I see your point when viewing the GIFs as time lapse - which is maybe the intention here? I had to pause at every new slide anyway to go through the data so that thought didn't occur to me.

[โ€“] f1ip@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I thought about posting images, but with 16 images for each driver, that album would be rather large...

[โ€“] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You could have a single non-animated graph with time/race on the x-axis, the gap (or whatever other data) on the y-axis, and a separate point for each team (joined to make a line graph). It would solve the issue of too many graphs, though you might have to experiment so it doesn't end up too cluttered!

[โ€“] f1ip@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I did try that, but it became REALLY cluttered once it got to about 10 races.

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It all depends on what you are after. An album for each driver would be the best way to study the data, while time lapses like this are fine as a "huh, neat" type diversion. I'd also suggest using the team colors for the bars even in the driver graphs so you can easily identify who is who. As is I can't discern what the orange-to-blue color gradient is representing?

[โ€“] f1ip@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I do that in the other plots, but I tried to make something a bit more colourful on these, plus on the drivers, there would be repeated colours for the 2 drivers of all other teams.

I might do images and gifs in individual albums, yeah, so you can see the progression and also check out the details. Need to find a way to automate that process, though, because it will be annoying to do.

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Repeated colors aren't really a problem, in fact the opposite! You want to quickly be able to identify the drivers and the teams and easily scan the graphs.

[โ€“] f1ip@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The team gaps do us the teams' colours, with a bit of an edit for better brightness. Alpine is pink because we have too many blues already.

But my non-designer brain wants more pretty colours in the drivers' one. I might re-run them with team colours and see what happens. Thank you very much for all the feedback so far, it is much appreciated!

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 1 year ago

The only thing you want to think about in data is ease of readability. If, for example, every driver's bar was their team's color in the graphs you could instantly and easily see and compare a drivers gap to both drivers in another team.
