Names on Universities visualization not appearing

[sfarnel]

The names of the Universities are cut off on this visualization:

Perhaps used a shortened version?

[jchartrand]

I've switched the visualization for the universities to use the same bubbles as the degrees, which does two things:

1) only shows the university names (in the bubbles) if the names fit

2) shows the university names over in a legend so that even if a bubble can't show the full name, you can still figure it out from the legend, like so:

You'll notice that some of the university names still are cut off in the legend. Not sure what do to about that, if anything. If you want shorter names, they could be added to the university mapping I guess, but that could be hard since that mapping is dynamically built from the triple store. If you do want something like that, it would be a question for Danoosh, and whether his script could somehow incorporate shorter names.

Thanks @jchartrand This is looking great!

For @danydvd can we get alternative names for each University for better display? (Also same for degree names). If so I can help model in whatever way makes sense.

For @CarlsoFiorention since we have two bubble visualizations - university and degree - should we leave them both named as bubbles? what would you suggest otherwise?

[danydvd]

@sfarnel I can add alternative names for universities (institutions.json) but I am not sure what an alternative would be? Mabye we can use something like this: {"http://canlink.library.ualberta.ca/institution/Athabasca_University": {"name": "Athabasca University", "items": "4", "coordinates": [...,...], "short_name": "XYZ"}, ...

That 'short_name' field would work for me.

Thanks @danydvd this looks good. I will compile the data and send it along

@jchartrand please see this note from Carlos re: we have two visualizations named 'Bubbles': "Given the repetition of widgets, I suggest to call the first one “bubbles” to be consistent with the rest, and the second just “degrees”"

[jchartrand]

@sfarnel I've renamed the second Bubbles visualization to 'degrees'

[sfarnel]

Excellent; thanks!
