Visualizing flights using D3
To get a powerful and fun visualization of the flight paths and connections in this dataset, we can leverage the Airports D3 visualization (https://mbostock.github.io/d3/talk/20111116/airports.html) within our Databricks notebook. By connecting our GraphFrames, DataFrames, and D3 visualizations, we can visualize the scope of all the flight connections as noted for all on-time or early departing flights within this dataset.
The blue circles represent the vertices (that is, airports) where the size of the circle represents the number of edges (that is, flights) in and out of those airports. The black lines are the edges themselves (that is, flights) and their respective connections to the other vertices (that is, airports). ...
