communicating with data
So I made this interactive visualization about the 5 Game of Thrones books. How? The project The visualization is based on the events which happen to the main characters of the books. With over 2000 characters and close to 5000 pages over 343 chapters, it’s not possible to show everything, so I took about 300 characters [...]
This past week, Scott Murray and I presented a tutorial at Strata on d3 (of all things!) First things first, you probably want to get Scott’s book on the subject when it’s out. I should be translating it into French eventually. You’re also welcome to the slides and examples of the tutorial which can be [...]
Click for interactive visualization I have created this map of every homicide in the USA using firearms for the latest year where detailed information was available. Every, that is from all the agencies that report homicides to the FBI, which is not an obligation – this is why the map lacks Florida data. In the [...]
I’ve created an interactive visualization on the Game of Thrones. (A more technical post on how this was done to follow)
TL;DR: go check the model here So I live in Paris and try to go to the museums there as much as I can, which is often. About ten years ago (2002, I think) the city came up with what I thought was a fantastic idea: “nuit blanche”, an art event during one night in [...]
Inspired by the coursera class on model thinking, by Scott E Page, I have implemented a bunch of simulation models with d3. It’s something I have done on and off for the past few weeks, and let’s say it’s really the first 6. Those interactive versions just graze the surface of all there is to [...]
Jeff Heer, Scott Murray and myself have done a d3 tutorial at visWeek 2012. You probably gathered that from the title of the post. Here is a link to all the slides and code examples that we have presented: d3 tutorial For the purpose of the tutorial I have compiled a d3 cheat sheet, on [...]
Back when I started learning programming, it was always fairly simple to achieve the canonical first step of accomplishments, that is, to get the system to announce that you are ready to do more by displaying “hello world” on the screen. In most systems then, there was a command prompt somewhere that would usually do [...]
That post originally appeared on visual.ly, I’m reproducing it here for clarity and ease of retrieval In interactive visualisation, there is the word reactive. Well, maybe not literally, but close enough. The fact is that reactivity, or the propension of a visualisation to respond to user actions, can really help engage the user in a [...]
I’m writing this short post because I see that exact phrase come up in the search engine terms of the blog now and again (along with “Hello this is bathtub” but I can’t really help there). Long story short. I run into problems all the time trying to properly embed Tableau vis into wordpress blog [...]
