Guess The Ratio
license: mit

Using d3-drag for an interactive "Make a guess" connected dot plot. As you move the dots along the line the colour also changes based on a colour scale. At the same time, the ratio between the different pay figures is visualised. Clicking reset returns the dots to their original positions.

forked from tlfrd's block: Draggable Connected Dot Plot


TODO:

  • When the user submits their guess the real ratio and range of salary should be revealed. This connected dot plot should be added to the others and sorted into the correct position.
