### Hover Interactions
Hover over any country to see:
- Country name
- HPV coverage percentage with status indicator
- Program details (start year, target age, gender policy)
- Cervical cancer incidence rate
- Annual deaths (current)
- Potential lives saved (with full coverage)
- Income level
Popup colors:
- Green text = good outcome (high coverage, low cancer)
- Yellow text = moderate
- Pink/Red text = poor outcome (low coverage, high cancer)
## Customization Guide
### Changing Color Schemes
Color gradients are defined in `src/index.js` in the `colorExpressions` object:
**Coverage gradient** (purple theme):
```javascript
'coverage': [
'interpolate',
['linear'],
['get', 'hpv_coverage_2024'],
0, '#4a0e4e', // Dark purple
50, '#b366ff', // Medium purple
90, '#ebccff' // Light purple
]
```
**Cancer gradient** (green-to-red diverging):
```javascript
'cancer-rate': [
'interpolate',
['linear'],
['get', 'cervical_cancer_incidence'],
2, '#66ffb3', // Green (low = good)
20, '#ff9933', // Orange (moderate)
44, '#cc0000' // Dark red (high = bad)
]
```
To modify:
1. Edit the color hex codes
2. Adjust the data breakpoints (left number in each pair)
3. Maintain the same number of stops for smooth gradients
### Adjusting Circle Sizes
Size expressions are in `sizeExpressions` object:
```javascript
'coverage': [
'interpolate',
['linear'],
['get', 'hpv_coverage_2024'],
0, 4, // Coverage 0% = 4px radius
60, 17, // Coverage 60% = 17px radius
95, 30 // Coverage 95% = 30px radius
]
```
Guidelines:
- Minimum radius: 4px (visible but not obtrusive)
- Maximum radius: 30-35px (prominent but not overlapping)
- 6-8 stops provide smooth scaling
### Modifying Globe Appearance
In `src/index.js`, find the `map.setFog()` call:
```javascript
map.setFog({
color: 'rgba(25, 15, 35, 0.9)', // Atmosphere base color
'high-color': 'rgba(80, 50, 120, 0.5)', // Upper atmosphere
'horizon-blend': 0.06, // Blend smoothness
'space-color': 'rgba(8, 5, 15, 1)', // Background space
'star-intensity': 0.8 // Star brightness
});
```
**Purple/pink theme** (current):
- Connects to cervical cancer awareness ribbons
- Professional medical visualization aesthetic
**Alternative themes**:
- Blue space theme: `color: 'rgba(20, 30, 50, 0.9)'`
- Warm theme: `color: 'rgba(40, 30, 20, 0.9)'`
- Cool theme: `color: 'rgba(15, 30, 40, 0.9)'`
### Adding New Data Points
To add countries:
1. **Edit `src/data/data.js`**
2. **Add feature to the array**:
```javascript
{
"type": "Feature",
"geometry": {
"type": "Point",
"coordinates": [longitude, latitude] // Center of country
},
"properties": {
// ... all required properties
}
}
```
3. **Required properties**:
- All properties from the schema above
- Use `null` for missing data (e.g., no program)
- Use `0` for coverage if no program
4. **Finding coordinates**:
- Use [latlong.net](https://www.latlong.net/) for country centers
- Format: `[longitude, latitude]` (not lat, lng!)
## Visualization Modes
### 16 Possible Combinations
With 4 size metrics × 4 color metrics = 16 visualization modes:
**Recommended combinations**:
1. **Coverage vs. Cancer** (default)
- Size: Coverage
- Color: Cancer Rate
- Shows correlation: high coverage = low cancer
2. **Impact Opportunity**
- Size: Lives Saved
- Color: Coverage
- Shows where intervention would save most lives
3. **Burden Analysis**
- Size: Mortality
- Color: Coverage
- Shows where deaths are highest vs. prevention
4. **Equity Analysis**
- Size: Coverage
- Color: Lives Saved
- Shows disparities: who gets vaccines vs. who needs them
5. **3D Cancer Burden** (toggle mode)
- Enable 3D extrusions
- Height = Annual deaths
- Color = Cancer incidence
- Dramatic visualization of global burden
### Interpreting Patterns
**Purple gradient** (coverage):
- Dark purple = No program or very low coverage
- Light purple = Excellent coverage (>85%)
**Green-to-red gradient** (cancer/mortality):
- Green = Low incidence/mortality (success)
- Yellow = Moderate (average)
- Red = High incidence/mortality (crisis)
**Teal gradient** (lives saved):
- Dark teal = Small potential impact
- Light teal = Large potential impact
## Performance Notes
### Optimization
The visualization is optimized for performance:
- **60fps** auto-rotation on modern hardware
- **<50ms** metric switching (no data reload)
- **Smooth** 3D transitions (1 second)
### Data Size
- **146 features** = ~35KB uncompressed JSON
- **3 layers** (circles, extrusions, labels)
- **No pagination** needed at this scale
### Browser Requirements
**Minimum**:
- WebGL support (2015+ browsers)
- 1GB RAM
- 1024×768 resolution
**Recommended**:
- WebGL 2.0
- 4GB+ RAM
- 1920×1080+ resolution
- Hardware acceleration enabled
## Troubleshooting
### Globe Not Loading
**Symptoms**: Black screen or error message
**Solutions**:
1. Check browser console for errors (F12)
2. Verify Mapbox token is valid
3. Ensure you're running from a web server (not `file://`)
4. Check internet connection (CDN resources needed)
### Data Not Appearing
**Symptoms**: Globe loads but no circles
**Solutions**:
1. Check `src/data/data.js` is loaded correctly
2. Verify `hpvVaccineData` variable exists (console: `typeof hpvVaccineData`)
3. Check for JavaScript errors in console
4. Ensure GeoJSON structure is valid
### Performance Issues
**Symptoms**: Laggy rotation, slow interactions
**Solutions**:
1. Reduce number of stops in interpolate expressions
2. Increase zoom-based opacity thresholds (hide circles at low zoom)
3. Disable 3D extrusions if too slow
4. Update graphics drivers
5. Close other browser tabs
### 3D Mode Issues
**Symptoms**: 3D extrusions don't appear or look wrong
**Solutions**:
1. Ensure WebGL is enabled and working
2. Check `fill-extrusion` layer visibility (may be hidden)
3. Verify extrusion height values are reasonable (not NaN)
4. Try resetting view and toggling again
## Advanced Customization
### Adding New Metrics
To add a metric (e.g., "vaccine_doses_administered"):
1. **Add to data** (`src/data/data.js`):
```javascript
"properties": {
// ... existing properties
"vaccine_doses_administered": 2500000
}
```
2. **Create expression** (`src/index.js`):
```javascript
sizeExpressions['doses'] = [
'interpolate',
['linear'],
['get', 'vaccine_doses_administered'],
0, 4,
1000000, 15,
10000000, 30
];
```
3. **Add to dropdown** (`index.html`):
```html
```
4. **Update legend** (`src/index.js`):
```javascript
metricLabels['doses'] = {
name: 'Vaccine Doses Administered',
min: '0',
max: '10M',
gradient: 'teal-gradient' // Define in CSS
};
```
### Filtering Data
To show only specific countries:
```javascript
map.addLayer({
id: 'hpv-circles',
type: 'circle',
source: 'hpv-data',
filter: [
'>', ['get', 'hpv_coverage_2024'], 50 // Only show coverage >50%
],
// ... rest of layer config
});
```
Filter examples:
- High coverage only: `['>', ['get', 'hpv_coverage_2024'], 70]`
- Low-income countries: `['==', ['get', 'income_level'], 'low']`
- No program: `['==', ['get', 'hpv_coverage_2024'], 0]`
- High burden: `['>', ['get', 'annual_deaths'], 2000]`
### Animation Ideas
**Time-series animation** (showing program adoption over time):
```javascript
function animateTimeline() {
let year = 2006;
const interval = setInterval(() => {
map.setFilter('hpv-circles', [
'<=',
['get', 'vaccine_program_started'],
year
]);
year++;
if (year > 2024) clearInterval(interval);
}, 500); // Advance one year every 500ms
}
```
**Pulsing circles** for high-impact countries:
```javascript
// Add to layer paint properties
'circle-opacity': [
'interpolate',
['linear'],
['%', ['/', ['+', ['get', 'lives_saved_projected'], ['*', ['time'], 0.001]], 1000], 1],
0, 0.6,
1, 1
]
```
## Accessibility Notes
### Color Blindness
Current gradients:
- **Purple scale**: Distinguishable by value (dark to light)
- **Green-red scale**: **NOT** colorblind-safe
**Colorblind-safe alternative**:
```javascript
// Replace green-red with blue-orange
'cancer-rate': [
'interpolate',
['linear'],
['get', 'cervical_cancer_incidence'],
2, '#0571b0', // Blue (low)
20, '#fdae61', // Orange (moderate)
44, '#ca0020' // Dark red (high)
]
```
### Screen Readers
The visualization is primarily visual. For accessibility:
1. Ensure hover popups have semantic HTML
2. Consider adding ARIA labels to controls
3. Provide text summary of key findings in README
## Export and Sharing
### Screenshots
**Browser built-in**:
1. Pause rotation
2. Position desired view
3. Browser screenshot (OS-specific shortcut)
**Programmatic export**:
```javascript
// Add this function to src/index.js
function exportImage() {
map.once('idle', () => {
const canvas = map.getCanvas();
const dataURL = canvas.toDataURL('image/png');
const link = document.createElement('a');
link.download = 'hpv-vaccine-globe.png';
link.href = dataURL;
link.click();
});
}
```
