Develop Final Data Table

• Model the data table for your final data visualization such that each row will represent either a point in time, a location, or an asset.
• Pull in the characteristics that are relevant to your research question as columns.

Map Data Structure to Colors

• Highlight the primary data outputs that you would like to visualize given the landscape variables, part parameter, and environmental parameters that you've collected.
• Identify which will be your primary data elements and which will be metadata.
• Develop color mappings for your primary data elements.

Develop Components

• In the same way that you abstracted your diagrams, create glyphs that can serve as containers for your data.
• Starting with the most atomic element, develop a visual language with color, shapes, lineweight, etc.
• Put your atoms together into molecules to develop a glyph.
• Once you have a glyph, develop multiple states for that glyph that can capture the range of data outputs being expressed.
• Once you think you have all the possible states, for each row in your data table, create a glyph injected with the appropriate data values.
