Politics shapes the world in many ways — and, as always, data visualization helps make sense of it all. This time in DataViz Weekly, we are looking at how charts and maps reflect political shifts, decisions, and consequences — from election results and government budgets to tariff policies and even time zones.
One of these projects is ours. We hesitated for a moment — but let’s be honest, we would have featured it anyway if we had stumbled upon it elsewhere.
So, without further ado, here are the four new data visualization projects we think you’ll want to check out:
- U.S. presidential elections — AnyChart
- Trump tariffs timeline — The Washington Post
- Science funding cuts in the United States — SCIMaP
- Politics of time zones — The Economist

We recently released a new public Qlik Sense application that offers an interactive deep dive into U.S. presidential elections from 2016 through 2024 — our first step toward building the ultimate tool for exploring every presidential election in American history.

The app is fully accessible in the browser, even if you do not have Qlik.

Scatter plots are widely used to visualize relationships between variables by displaying values on a coordinate plane. In some cases, users may need to control which data points remain visible — whether to focus on a specific category, filter out outliers, or simplify the view for better readability.
In this edition of JS Chart Tips — our blog series featuring practical solutions inspired by real customer questions — we’ll show you how to implement interactive point visibility control in a JavaScript scatter plot. By using specialized API methods, you can let users dynamically hide and show individual markers, making data exploration more flexible and insightful.
Let’s dive in!

Stock charts are designed to handle large volumes of time-based data, and smooth navigation is key to working with them effectively. One common need is zooming — whether to focus on a specific time range in greater detail or to get a broader view of the data.
In our JavaScript stock charts, zooming works out of the box through the scroller element, which appears by default as the main navigational UI control, making it easy to adjust the visible range on the go. For even greater flexibility, the range selection UI provides extra tools like preset time period buttons and date input fields. You can also activate zooming via mouse wheel scrolling with the zoomOnMouseWheel() method, which corresponds to the two-finger swipe gesture on touchpads and trackpads.
Pinch-to-zoom is another intuitive zooming option. It allows users to zoom in and out naturally on mobile and touch devices by moving two fingers farther apart or closer together. This is also easy to implement — and it is exactly what we cover in this edition of JS Chart Tips. Learn how to add pinch-to-zoom to your JavaScript stock chart!

Here are some new examples — take a closer look and see what insights they might inspire:
