Contourcarpet

Overview

The contourcarpet insight type is used to create contour plots over a carpet plot. It combines the advantages of contour plots with the flexible grid system of carpet plots. This insight is useful for visualizing 3D data on non-uniform or irregular grids, often seen in engineering, physics, or other technical applications.

You can control contour levels, colors, and other properties to display data patterns over an underlying carpet plot.

Common Uses

• Distorted Grids: Visualizing data over irregular grids or non-linear spaces.
• Engineering Data: Representing data that spans across irregular dimensions.
• Multivariate Visualization: Handling data with multiple independent variables.

Here's a simple contourcarpet insight showing a contour over a basic carpet plot:

insights:
  - name: Simple Contourcarpet
    description: "Contour plot over a carpet plot"
    props:
      type: contourcarpet
      carpet:
        type: carpet
        a: ?{${ref(contourcarpet-data).a}}
        b: ?{${ref(contourcarpet-data).b}}
        x: ?{${ref(contourcarpet-data).x}}
        y: ?{${ref(contourcarpet-data).y}}
      z: ?{${ref(contourcarpet-data).z}}
      colorscale: "Viridis"

This example shows a filled contourcarpet insight, where the contours are filled with colors:

    props:
      type: contourcarpet
      carpet:
        type: carpet
        a: ?{${ref(contourcarpet-data-filled).a}}
        b: ?{${ref(contourcarpet-data-filled).b}}
        x: ?{${ref(contourcarpet-data-filled).x}}
        y: ?{${ref(contourcarpet-data-filled).y}}
      z: ?{${ref(contourcarpet-data-filled).z}}
      colorscale: "Earth"
      contours:
        coloring: "heatmap"
        showlines: true

This example demonstrates how to customize contour levels and coloring in a contourcarpet insight:

    props:
      type: contourcarpet
      carpet:
        type: carpet
        a: ?{${ref(contourcarpet-data-custom).a}}
        b: ?{${ref(contourcarpet-data-custom).b}}
        x: ?{${ref(contourcarpet-data-custom).x}}
        y: ?{${ref(contourcarpet-data-custom).y}}
      z: ?{${ref(contourcarpet-data-custom).z}}
      colorscale: "Jet"
      contours:
        start: 10
        end: 90
