communicating with data
My last project is an interactive map of the Paris subway. Interactive subway map Quite some time ago, I had seen Tom Carden’s Tube Travel Times and was fascinated. So while I initially had tried to do something different I ended up borrowing a lot of his design, so it wouldn’t be fair to start [...]
Following my Tableau politics contest entry, here is another view I had developed but which I didn’t include in the already full dashboard. In the main view I have tried to show how the values of candidates relate to those of the French. It’s difficult to convey that graphically when these values are determined by [...]
what led me to those choices I was technically happy of my entry for the sports contest. I had done what I wanted: obtain a hard-to-find, interesting dataset, attempt to create an exotic, hard-to-make and never-tableau’d-before shape with aesthetic appeal and insights.

Previous post: simple arrays Multi-dimensional arrays, associative arrays and protovis Even for a simple chart, chances are that you’ll have more than a single series of numbers to represent. For instance, you could have labels to describe what they mean, several series, and so on and so forth. So, let’s say we want to add [...]
For the past year or so I have been dabbling with protovis. I don’t have a heavy CS background but protovis is supposedly easy to pick up for people like me, who are vaguely aware that computers can make calculations but who need to check the manual for the most mundane programming instructions. I found [...]
