Makie is a data visualization ecosystem for the Julia programming language, with high performance and extensibility. It supports various data visualization applications like 2D, 3D, and geospatial plots.
My next monthly visualization blog is posted which discusses our new studies on summertime temperatures in the United States using a climate graphic of mini temperature maps organized by decade: https://zacklabe.com/climate-viz-of-the-month/
#Journalism / Mona Chalabi on storytelling, the power of data, and covering Palestine
Mona Chalabi is a data journalist known for creating insightful visualizations and infographics, often focused on highlighting social issues and marginalization. She recently won a Pulitzer Prize for her reporting. Much of her recent work has been devoted to spreading awareness about the situation in Palestine through data visualizations, using imagery and statistics about casualties, violence, and human impact. Chalabi says she has experienced some loss in followers and visibility for her #Palestine posts, which she attributes to the controversial/sensitive nature of the topic and deeply entrenched biases about Palestinian narratives.
"{viridis} is an R package that presents colour-blind friendly palettes. It improves the graph readability. The advantage of {viridis} is that the palettes are perceptually uniform, easy to print in greyscale and colour-blind friendly. To use the {viridis} in ggplot2 simply ass:
📊 scale_colour_d()
In the slope graphs I generated in this example, I simply added the function above. The image shows four possible {viridis} palettes. #rstats#accessibility#ggplot2#dataviz
Du Bois Data Visualization Society Challenge - Week 5/10: My recreation of Du Bois' poster no. 13, done with D3, Svelte. Added a pattern fill to match the hand-painted look & transitions on load.
Indians are highly satisfied with their democracy, and at the same time show great support for rule by an autocratic 'strong leader'. On one hand they show high approval for a direct democracy, on the other they support rule by technocrats. Here's a look at India's political complexity using 3 scatter plot charts based on Pew's latest survey.
366 lb DL, T'Vondre Sweat, just ran a 5.27 40-Yd. This type of speed is consistent with someone who is nearly 30 lbs lighter than he is. I plotted his 40 time and weight against last years complete list of combine participants. #nfl#nflcombine#dataviz
Good weekend of work. 6x9 set of d4 dice generated numbers translated into 54x3cm red triangles. The 216x1.5cm black triangles are the same d4 numbers set symmetrically over the red pattern. #generativedice#generative#linocut#dataviz#dataart
The #Observable Framework is a new #JavaScript library for building dashboards. It looks super awesome!
Here are the key features:
✅ It enables the building of the dashboard front-end with JS and the use of any other language on the back-end to process the data, such as #Rstats, #Python, #SQL, etc. This is an amazing feature that enables you to bring the beauty and strengths of JS while processing your data with a more friendly framework
(2/3) Key features
✅ It provides a local development server where you can test your code side-by-side with the output
✅ It compiles Markdown, JavaScript, and other sources and static assets
✅ Can be deployed as a static site (did not test yet, but I believe it can be deployed into Github Pages) or deployed directly to Observable
Why do we try to maintain our Local Timeline as on-topic?
There are so many reasons. But one big one is that our Local Timeline is what other folks see when they are checking out if they'd like to join our community or not.
We are a topic-based instance, so when our Local Timeline is all over the place and there's no Data Viz or Art or any Creative process...What are potential community member supposed to make of this?
@kristinHenry I think it means that we are a community who works in data-visualization related fields or who has an interest in data visualization (or artistic productions in various visual mediums). But we also have other interests. I've often wondered if maybe this shouldn't be my instance due to the fact that I don't post on #dataviz exclusively...
This one took a bit of work, but really like the quilting feel of it. Took my earlier #Generative#linocut and added half size stippled black triangles. Rotation of the stippled triangles also set by the roll of a d4. #GenerativeDice#dataart#dataviz
From Samuel Dunn, (c. 1774), centered on the Sun with a notation about its black spots and how they "move from East to West", this is a state of the art depiction of our solar system as best as it was known at the time. Notes six planets and their moons, with Jupiter having 4 (now counted as 95 moons) and Saturn as having 5 (now totaled up to 146 moons).
