New to ojs and want to make histogram of simulated data

[DamonCharlesRoberts]

Hello!

I am trying to make some simple interactives with simulated data to demonstrate some concepts to students of mine. I thought OJS could be a really useful tool to do this.

However, I am running into troubles.

I first simulate the data with numpy and put it into a pandas.DataFrame

from random import seed
from numpy.random import normal, negative_binomial
import pandas as pd

data = pd.DataFrame({
    "Normal": normal(0,1,100000),
    "Negative_binomial": negative_binomial(1, 0, 100000)
})

And then I use ojs_define():

ojs_define(simulated = data)

Then I wanted to make a histogram, but wasn't sure if I got my data in correctly, so then I thought I'd try to produce a table, but still have a blank page:

data = transpose(simulated)

Inputs.table(dataset)

What am I missing?

Ahhh. Okay, I figured it out. I am dumb.

For anyone who might run into this problem:

I was trying to view the output through the html file it produces only.

Instead you can run quarto preview file_with_ojs.qmd. This will show you everything. It is because it relies on the JS libs that are put into a folder. Opening the html only will not pull those in to help you view the outputs.

You should check that you're running quarto 1.3, which will warn you about running OJS in file:/// instead of a local server.

Ahh. Helpful! Thanks!
