World Air Quality

1. Introduction
To extend Project-1, I developed the tool  visualizing air quality  for some cities in the world.
It  supports 2D visualization with plotting option,  and includes animation of changes during certain time period.

I put effort to make icon showing many data clearly and neatly, not to confuse.
So user can guess which factor might effect to have good or bad AQI, and current trends.
Additionally, I tried to show air quality related information about the region.


2. Data

Additional Data



  1. Search/Gather data
    1. Hardest part
  2. Formatting
    1. Data sets are from different site, and it's hard to find formatted file.
    2. Normally, it just show on web.
    3. Because each site has different ordering, unit(sometimes), missing data, etc.
    4. I made different simple parsers  to generate one data set.


  1. Add to the Configuration
    1. File format is csv and recommend using City Name as filename
    2. EX. Seoul, Seoul.csv
    3. Add City Name in the list file
