How to use PlotAPI with Julia.
In this demonstration, we'll use some sample data to create an interactive PlotAPI Chord diagram with Julia.
using HTTP
using JSON
using Base64
matrix = [
[0, 5, 6, 4, 7, 4],
[5, 0, 5, 4, 6, 5],
[6, 5, 0, 4, 5, 5],
[4, 4, 4, 0, 5, 5],
[7, 6, 5, 5, 0, 4],
[4, 5, 5, 5, 4, 0],
]
names = ["Action", "Adventure", "Comedy", "Drama", "Fantasy", "Thriller"]
params = Dict("matrix" => matrix, "names" => names)
auth = "Basic " * Base64.base64encode("api_key" * ":" * your_api_key)
r = HTTP.request("POST", "https://plotapi.com/chord",
["Content-Type" => "application/json", "Authorization" => auth],
JSON.json(params))
html_content = String(r.body)
Saving locally
We can save the to a HTML file.
open("plot.html", "w") do io
write(io, html_content)
end;
Displaying in notebook
When working from a Jupyter Notebook, you can also make use of display() and HTML() to display the visualization inline.
display(HTML(html_content))
Another example
Let's use Julia to create a PlotAPI Sankey diagram.
using HTTP
using JSON
using Base64
links = [
Dict("source" => "Group A", "target" => "Rank 1", "value" => 1000),
Dict("source" => "Group B", "target" => "Rank 1", "value" => 300),
Dict("source" => "Group B", "target" => "Rank 2", "value" => 600),
Dict("source" => "Group B", "target" => "Rank 3", "value" => 400),
Dict("source" => "Rank 1", "target" => "Club A", "value" => 700),
Dict("source" => "Rank 1", "target" => "Club B", "value" => 400),
Dict("source" => "Rank 1", "target" => "Club C", "value" => 200),
Dict("source" => "Rank 2", "target" => "Club B", "value" => 200),
Dict("source" => "Rank 2", "target" => "Club C", "value" => 400),
Dict("source" => "Rank 3", "target" => "Withdrawn", "value" => 400),
Dict("source" => "Club A", "target" => "The Most Amazing Prize", "value" => 500),
]
params = Dict("links" => links)
auth = "Basic " * Base64.base64encode("api_key" * ":" * your_api_key)
r = HTTP.request("POST", "https://plotapi.com/sankey",
["Content-Type" => "application/json", "Authorization" => auth],
JSON.json(params))
html_content = String(r.body)
open("output.html", "w") do f
write(f, html_content)
end
