Every week brings more charts, maps, and visual stories into view. In DataViz Weekly, we pick out recent data visualization work that feels worth a closer look, whether for the subject, the design choices, or the way the data is brought into focus. Here is what we are featuring this time:
70 years of Eurovision lyrics — Giuseppe Sollazzo
California politics beyond left and right — San Francisco Chronicle
There’s a chart we’ve been wanting to add to the Qlik toolkit for a while. The one that shows you what a hierarchy actually looks like — not packed by value like a treemap, not stacked in rings like a sunburst, but as the parent-child tree it really is. Meet the Circular Dendrogram extension for Qlik Sense.
We have come across several interesting data maps over the past few days, so this edition of DataViz Weekly leans spatial. The four projects we selected show how maps can make location, scale, and geographic patterns easier to explore. Today’s selection:
146 million U.S. jobs by sector — Kyle Walker
Sahel violence and Nigeria as its hotspot — The Guardian
Rio de Janeiro’s sister cities — Georgios Karamanis
A step line chart displays data as a continuous staircase, making it ideal for visualizing values that change at specific moments and hold constant in between. This tutorial walks through building one with JavaScript using ten years of U.S. Federal Funds Rate data, from a blank HTML page to a fully interactive step line chart ready to embed in any web page or application.
