Part1 : Usage of the Application.

1. This data visualization will generate four graphs with two pie plots and two bar plots: gender distribution, user type distribution, daily usage and daily miles.

2. The station frequency visualization part (option 2) will print the name of top 5 high frequency stations and generate 3 plots automatically (close one to see the next plot).

• Plot 1: The points of citi bike stations on the map
• Plot 2: The top 5 high frequency stations on the map
• Plot 3: The heat map of the station frequency

• Get information of usage of the station on that particular date on historical date and get recommendation on the station.
• Get two alternative stations nearby which meet with the criterion: I. within 15-minute walk, II. predicted to be recommended.

Part2 : Configuration:

1. Pandas to access data.
2. Numpy to perform statistical analysis.
3. Matplotlib for graphics including pie plots and bar plots.
4. Basemap for graphics including geometric maps.

How to run the program:

Dillinger

Dillinger is a cloud-enabled, mobile-ready, offline-storage, AngularJS powered HTML5 Markdown editor.

• Type some Markdown on the left
• See HTML in the right
• Magic

Markdown is a lightweight markup language based on the formatting conventions that people naturally use in email. As John Gruber writes on the Markdown site

The overriding design goal for Markdown's formatting syntax is to make it as readable as possible. The idea is that a Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like it's been marked up with tags or formatting instructions.

This text you see here is actually written in Markdown! To get a feel for Markdown's syntax, type some text into the left window and watch the results in the right.

Version

3.2.0

Tech

Dillinger uses a number of open source projects to work properly:

• AngularJS - HTML enhanced for web apps!
• Ace Editor - awesome web-based text editor
• Marked - a super fast port of Markdown to JavaScript
• Twitter Bootstrap - great UI boilerplate for modern web apps
• node.js - evented I/O for the backend
• Express - fast node.js network app framework @tjholowaychuk
• Gulp - the streaming build system
• keymaster.js - awesome keyboard handler lib by @thomasfuchs
• jQuery - duh

And of course Dillinger itself is open source with a public repository on GitHub.
