Exercise 1: Configuring Multi-Series Charts. This exercise, along with exercises 2 and 3, demonstrates the configuration of bar and line charts from different source data formats. The first three exercises are essentially an introduction to basic charting in COVE. Recommended prerequisite: Review the concepts in Defining Data for Visualization.

Exercise 2: Configuring Multi-Series Charts. This exercise, along with exercises 1 and 3, demonstrates how to configure bar and line charts from different source data formats. This exercise also introduces more charting options, such as exclusion of categories along the date/category axis. Recommended prerequisites: Do Exercise 1 and review the concepts in Defining Data for Visualization.

This exercise also introduces more charting options, such as exclusion of categories along the date/category axis. Recommended prerequisites: Do Exercise 1 and review the concepts in Defining Data for Visualization.
Exercise 3: Configuring Multi-Series Charts. This exercise, along with Exercises 1 and 2, continues instruction on the configuration of bar and line charts from different source data formats. Whereas the first two exercises use the same source file, this exercise uses the same source data but in a different format. Recommended prerequisites: Complete Exercises 1 and 2 and review the concepts in Defining Data for Visualization.

Whereas the first two exercises use the same source file, this exercise uses the same source data but in a different format. Recommended prerequisites: Complete Exercises 1 and 2 and review the concepts in Defining Data for Visualization.
Exercise 4: Building a Numeric Map and Setting up Filter Controls. This exercise, along with Exercise 5, provides a solid introduction to data mapping with COVE. In addition to setting up a numeric map, you learn how to configure filter controls (a skill you can also apply to charts). Along the way, you learn about some key options for controlling the look and behavior of your maps. Recommended prerequisite: Review the concepts in Defining Data for Visualization.

Along the way, you learn about some key options for controlling the look and behavior of your maps. Recommended prerequisite: Review the concepts in Defining Data for Visualization.
Exercise 5: Building a Categorical Map. This exercise demonstrates the configuration of categorical maps, which visualize non-numeric data series (e.g., Low, Medium, High). This exercise also demonstrates how to add data columns to tooltips and the data table, while reinforcing some skills from the last exercise, such as setting up filter controls. Recommended prerequisites: Do Exercise 4 and review the concepts in Defining Data for Visualization.

Recommended prerequisites: Do Exercise 4 and review the concepts in Defining Data for Visualization.
Exercise 6: Configuring a Single-Series Chart with Confidence Intervals. This exercise focuses on the building of a single-series bar chart with CI values. It also introduces a few display options not covered in the previous charting exercises. Recommended prerequisites: Do Exercises 1 through 3 and review the concepts in Defining Data for Visualization.
