multiloess is a streamlit app for fitting multiple loess smoothers to motion picture shot length data.
You can find the app here: multiloess.
The app is easy to use:
- Upload a csv file containing shot length data in wide format (i.e., one column per film).
NAsare removed automatically. - Select the film for which you want to plot the data.
- Set the range of the loess smoothers by moving the sliders.
- The step parameter determines the increase between consecutive smoothers across the range.
- The ticks parameter is purely cosmetic, controlling the spacing of the tick labels on the colour bar, but is useful for creating clear plots.
- Add a title for your plot.
When you're ready to go, click Visualise.
The resulting plot will look like this:
When you're happy with the output, click Download my plot to save the plot as a png file (resolution = 300 dpi).
(Because every action in a streamlit app re-runs the whole app the plot will disappear but it will be saved to your default Downloads folder).
My GitHub repository DrNickRedfern/multiloesssmoothers has a Python script to create this plot if you want to use it.
There are also functions to produce multiloess plots of movie shot length data inR and Julia.
