Lines Connection 02/03/11 at 07:09:00   Hello. I never use OpenDx before. I spent some time on googling and reading forums, however I did not find a solution for my problem…which seems to be pretty easy. I am doing a social research in time-geography. I need to visualize the results of my experiment. What I’m trying to represent is 3D graph that shows the movements of people. I managed to get everything organized. However I have troubles with ShowConnections tool. I filtered the data with Include function to see only the stopping behaviour of 2 individuals. What I need is simply connect those points with two separated lines. First line showing the behaviour for one individual, second – for another one. However as an output of my visualization I got all the points connected with one line and I have no clue how I can make OpenDx connect them separately. Please, help me.

Re: Lines Connection Reply #1 - 02/03/11 at 09:35:36   For someone who's new to OpenDX, I'd say you've gotten pretty far!   Two general approaches: (1 - upstream) partition your data on visitor id and draw lines separately, or (2 - downstream) erase the offending line segment(s) by declaring them invalid.   If you partition, you can do this either outside dx (write a conversion script)   and import the data already partitioned, or inside dx, in the visual language.   Erasing line segments would be done in dx. Each approach has its pros and cons, may depend on your situation/preferences, etc., and will require you to learn more, but different parts, of dx.   Sorry if this is a bit vague. Unfortunately, the answer isn't simply   "use module x".   Joel
