![]() ![]() The temperature values are more tightly integrated with the visual representation, making the combined experience more amenable to quick comparison across multiple days. In the Dark Sky app, the “temperature pills” representing the forecasted temperatures for the upcoming week preserve their existing magnitude more effectively in the visualization. In some domains and scenarios, you want to ensure the magnitudes are carried over, and in others you want to rescale the values to a fixed scale so the resulting charts are more consistent in the space and pixels they take up. To represent data visually, the data needs to be mapped from “data space” to “pixel space”. Preserving temperature magnitudes in ranges I hope that this section will provide some ideas and inspiration for people designing their own data-rich applications. Now that I’ve hopefully engaged your critical design eye, I’d like to elevate other elements in the app’s design in a more rapid-fire fashion. In the first few sections, I laid the groundwork by diving a bit more deeply into specific aspects of Dark Sky. ![]()
