The Data Visualisation Catalogue: find the right method for your data
- dataspun 2y agoGood potential, appreciate the organization of topics but not the ads and clickbait stuff.
- rcpt 2y agoIt'd be a better site as a single page listing all the charts types (like seaborn docs) but then you wouldn't have to click past two ads to see what a box-and-whisker plot looks like
- ayhanfuat 2y agoA better version is here: https://datavizproject.com/ https://datavizproject.com/
- ChrisMarshallNY 2y agoThanks for that! Much better!
- motohagiography 2y agoi disagree that this is better because the OP is about why you would choose a given viz and what it actually expresses usefully, where this example is just pictures people can fit their data to for slides. direction matters. most sankey diagrams could be pie charts (eg the birthday sankey) and dumb usages discredit useful viz techniques. nested boxes are usually trees, and mixed nested boxes with lines without symmetry are almost always lazy reasoning or bullshit. start with symmetry and intent and it will be apparent.

- sizzle 2y agoOne of my favorites, easy to navigate visually!

- sarajevo 2y agoAds were way too aggressive on iOS, pop up videos interfered with the use. I have a genuine interest in the topic but the ads just made my trust dissipate under a minute.
- renjimen 2y agoSwitch to Brave on iOS. I didn’t experience any of that on this site (though a shame they chose that many ads)
- Jaxan 2y agoOr just use an ad blocker and use safari. This is also possible on iOS.
- kstrauser 2y agoIt has ads?
- abirch 2y agohttps://www.ft.com/content/c7bb24c9-964d-479f-ba24-03a2b2df6e85 https://www.ft.com/content/c7bb24c9-964d-479f-ba24-03a2b2df6... This is one of my favorites. Very straightforward
- jerry1979 2y agoI love that the graphs are in grayscale.
- OsrsNeedsf2P 2y agoFirefox mobile + uBlock origin
- felipesabino 2y agoWhat would you recommend for a series of events over time, where events can also link to other events? Similar to a graph of nodes with a time component. I have been scratching my head around this visualization problem it has been some time, and still haven’t found anything that would be applicable
- hammock 2y agoSankey diagram? Can you give an example?
- analog31 2y agologic diagrams from electronics?
- nerdponx 2y agoCan you draw the graph and actually arrange the nodes on a timeline?
- thom 2y agoWhat decisions are to be made based on the data? What tasks are users working on?
- hotspot_one 2y agoPicture musical notation, 5 horizontal lines where the y-axis is the note (higher on the staff, higher note) and the x-axis is position in time. Say you have 5 event types, which occur with various frequencies over time. Plot them as dots on the staff. Draw lines between events which link to each other. If you draw the lines for the staff, they should be faint, only to help classify the event. And you can of course have more than 5 event types, just add more lines. Hopefully less than 20 lines, otherwise this starts to get visually very messy.
- zub-twin 2y agoFor print/static graphic? An Ishikawa diagram paired with a, probably keyed, network diagrams(s). For video or interactive there would be more flexibility. Your delivery method ultimately makes many choices for you.
- sizzle 2y agoNot seeing an UpSet plot?
- tunesmith 2y agoI came across another one a while back I wish I had bookmarked, it was old style html just from a greybeard dataviz expert, and it was basically an exhaustive description of what to use in what situations, and it was chock full of advice that was both counterintuitive and obvious in hindsight... what was great about it is it focused on the data type first, and only recommended the viz styles at the end.
- qazxcvbnm 2y agoWould you mind posting a link as well? Would be much appreciated.
- davnn 2y agoMaybe you refer to [1]? These are the two options I like to show students who first get in touch with data visualization. [1] https://www.data-to-viz.com/ https://www.data-to-viz.com/ Note: In the about page, they provide an extensive list of historical chart classification schemes :).
- amai 2y agoUnfortunately this one isn't easy to navigate on mobile.
- snarkbert 2y agoMaybe this? https://eazybi.com/blog/data-visualization-and-chart-types https://eazybi.com/blog/data-visualization-and-chart-types
- roenxi 2y agoI'd class this website as good if you want to make a visual impact, but giving subtly bad advice if you want to visualise data. Looking at the selection for proportions [0] there are things like circle packing or bubble maps presented as options. These are terrible ways to encode visual data if the intent is for the audience to actually take an interest in the data itself. Humans are really bad at interpreting the relative size of areas, especially circles. They really only make sense if the intent is to wow the audience that you have data and design skills, then everyone moves on without asking tough questions. Fair enough, sometimes that is the right thing to do, but it isn't a good way to visualise data. Use bars.
