This week’s Figure Friday explores the estimated mandatory time spent sitting vs. standing in different professions. For example, a software developer spends most of their time sitting, while other professions require predominantly standing.
The scatter plot visualizes the ratio of sitting to standing time, with a 4:4 balance considered ideal.
Example contains:
- Search for your profession to locate it on the chart.
- The marker for the selected profession enlarges upon selection.
- A custom tooltip provides additional details on hover.
Figure Friday is an initiative from the Dash/Plotly community. Every friday a new dataset is made available with some basic code to show a visual and an explanation of the subject. People are invited to adjust the code and improve the visual or create a small app. The next friday a zoom session takes place where some explain why they made what they made and others can give feedback, all in a constructive and respectful atmosphere. In the thread on the community site people share their visual, code and a demo if possible.
