Your Random Numbers – Getting Started with Processing and Data Visualization

• mayank 16y ago
  Wow, very nice intro to Processing, and a nice demonstration that human-generated random numbers aren't very uniform. I absolutely love the C-like syntax. Anyone have any tips on integration with R?

    The C-like syntax is inherited from Java, iirc you can use Processing from regular Java.

  Pretty cool, and an interesting approach to data visualization. I was actually doing something similar just the other day, and what I ended up with was much more boring: http://www.bluh.org/curve.png http://www.bluh.org/curve.png (Which is a RNG I built to distribute the values along a known probability distribution, this was simply a test of the system).

  This is an awesome article. I've been teaching myself/experimenting with data visualization at my job, but mostly just with excel tools. This definitely opens my eyes to a whole new level. I think the most interesting was when he laid it into a grid, and then going backwards and seeing how difficult those trends are to spot in the previous graphs.
