predominately via templates. pass in data via json. hopefully it can be made really simple for the coders to use.

  Coders don't make infographics. Graphic designers and marketers do. Infographics are highly customized to their topics and you pretty much need to be an illustrator to make a good one. I'm confused about how an infographic made through a template would look. Any examples?

    Infographics are increasingly made by software people like Ben Fry. The NYT has a whole team dedicated to these sorts of graphics.

      I haven't seen his work, but I suppose we should clarify the distinction between infographic and data visualization.

        im purely thinking of inforgraphics atm. in my head dv is more on the scientific plotting and charting side, while infographics is more about conveying key metrics in a visually attractive way.

    i only have one template at the moment. nothing release worthy, it uses svg for the template. i am building an internal system at the moment and wondered if it is worth trying to make one that is open to others to use
