#!/usr/bin/env python # coding: utf-8 # ## Spiral plot ## # [Spiral plot](http://cs.lnu.se/isovis/courses/spring07/dac751/papers/TimeSpiralsInfoVis2001.pdf) is a method of visualizing (periodic) time series. Here we adapt it to visualize tennis tournament results for Simona Halep, No 2 WTA 2015 ranking. # We generate bar charts of set results in each tournament along an Archimedean spiral of equation # $z(\theta)=a\theta e^{-i \theta}$, $a>0, \theta>3\pi/2$. Our bars are curvilinear bars, i.e. they have spiral arcs as base. # Matplotlib plot of this spiral: # In[2]: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np get_ipython().run_line_magic('matplotlib', 'inline') # In[3]: PI=np.pi # In[4]: a=2 theta=np.linspace(3*PI/2, 8*PI, 400) z=a*theta*np.exp(-1j*theta) plt.figure(figsize=(6,6)) plt.plot(z.real, z.imag) plt.axis('equal') # Each ray (starting from origin O(0,0)) crosses successive turnings of the spiral at constant distance points, namely at distance=$2\pi a$. # With our choice a=2, this distance is $4\pi=12.56637$. Hence we set the tallest bar corresponding to # a set score of 7 as having the height 10. The bar height corresponding to any set score in $\{0, 1, 2, \ldots, 7\}$ can be read from the following dictionary: # In[5]: h=7.0 score={0: 0., 1:10./h, 2: 20/h, 3: 30/h, 4: 40/h, 5: 50/h, 6: 60/h, 7: 70/h} score[6] # In[6]: import plotly.plotly as py from plotly.graph_objs import * # Read the json file created from data posted at [wtatennis.com](http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/13516/title/simona-halep): # In[7]: import json with open("halep2015.json") as json_file: jdata = json.load(json_file) print jdata['Shenzen'] # `played_at` is the list of tournaments Simona Halep participated in: # In[8]: played_at=['Shenzen', 'Australian Open', 'Fed Cup', 'Dubai', 'Indiana Wells', 'Miami', 'Stuttgart', 'Madrid', 'Rome', 'French Open', 'Birmingham', 'Wimbledon', 'Toronto', 'Cincinnati', 'US Open', 'Guangzhou', 'Wuhan', 'Beijing', 'WTA Finals' ] # In[9]: #define a dict giving the number of matches played by Halep in each tournament k nmatches={ k: len(jdata[where][3:]) for (k, where) in enumerate(played_at) } # The arcs of spiral are defined as Plotly SVG paths: # In[11]: def make_arc(aa, theta0, theta1, dist, nr=4):# defines the arc of spiral between theta0 and theta1, theta=np.linspace(theta0, theta1, nr) pts=(aa*theta+dist)*np.exp(-1j*theta)# points on spiral arc r=aa*theta string_arc='M ' for k in range(len(theta)): string_arc+=str(pts.real[k])+', '+str(pts.imag[k])+' L ' return string_arc # In[12]: make_arc(0.2, PI+0.2, PI, 4)[1:] # The function `make_bar` returns a Plotly dict that will be used to generate the bar shapes: # In[13]: def make_bar(bar_height, theta0, fill_color, rad=0.2, a=2): theta1=theta0+rad C=(a*theta1+bar_height)*np.exp(-1j*theta1) D=a*theta0*np.exp(-1j*theta0) return dict( line=Line(color=fill_color, width=0.5 ), path= make_arc(a, theta0, theta0+rad, 0.0)+str(C.real)+', '+str(C.imag)+' '+\ make_arc(a, theta1, theta0, bar_height)[1:]+ str(D.real)+', '+str(D.imag), type='path', fillcolor=fill_color ) # Define a function setting the plot layout: # In[14]: def make_layout(title, plot_size): axis=dict(showline=False, # hide axis line, grid, ticklabels and title zeroline=False, showgrid=False, showticklabels=False, title='' ) return Layout(title=title, font=Font(size=12), xaxis=XAxis(axis), yaxis=YAxis(axis), showlegend=False, width=plot_size, height=plot_size, margin=Margin(t=30, b=30, l=30, r=30), hovermode='closest', shapes=[]# below we append to shapes the dicts defining #the bars associated to set scores ) # In[15]: title='Simona Halep 2015 Tournament Results
