Building Column Charts with JavaScript
December 29th, 2022 by Shachee Swadia
With data everywhere around, we should know how to graphically represent it to better (and faster) understand what it tells us. One of the most common data visualization techniques is column charts, and I want to show you how you can easily create interactive ones using JavaScript.
A column chart is a simple, yet powerful way to display data when you need to compare values. From this tutorial, you will learn to make its different variations — basic single-series, multi-series, stacked, and 100% stacked column graphs — and apply effective customizations in a few more lines of JS code.
As a cricket fan, I thoroughly watched the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup held last month in Australia. I decided to use some data related to the championship for illustrative visualizations. JavaScript column charts built throughout this tutorial will let us look into the batting statistics, and more precisely, the number of runs scored by the top 10 batsmen at the tournament. Let’s have fun learning!

Creating Radar Chart with JavaScript
December 23rd, 2022 by Awan Shrestha
There are various data visualization techniques designed to reveal insights that numbers alone just can’t. In this tutorial, we will see how to easily create a radar chart using JavaScript. It is an effective way to graphically represent multivariate data of several quantitative variables.
Writing the tutorial during the FIFA World Cup 2022, I could not resist taking some football data for a practical illustration. The JS radar chart examples built and customized here step by step will plot the number of goals three top players have scored for their clubs over the last six years: Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Robert Lewandowski.
The whistle for kickoff is blown, and it all begins!
