It is a pure fact that a graphical or pictorial representation of data, known as a data visualization, conveys information faster than raw data in arrays, spreadsheets, or dense reports. Charts make data easier to understand, which further helps to quickly develop valuable insights. Interesting, right? Now, let’s have a look at one chart type called a word tree and see how to build it with ease.
A word tree is a data visualization form designed to show multiple parallel sequences of words (or phrases) as they appear in a text. Analyzing texts becomes easier with word trees as they display, by means of a branching structure, how selected words are connected to others.
In this tutorial, I will walk you through the process of creating a beautiful word tree chart with JavaScript (HTML5). The text being visualized will be the famous speech “I Have a Dream” by minister and civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. Each step will be explained in detail, and you’ll see everything is pretty simple. Sit tight and enjoy the learning!

Data visualization is a vast field with so many different types of charts to learn and create. But there are several basic, evergreen graphs that every data designer and web developer dealing with analytics should know how to build. One of them is a Line Chart (or Line Graph). It’s primarily designed to represent data over time.
You can follow along with this tutorial to learn how to quickly create beautiful interactive line (and step-line) charts using JavaScript. We’ll look at some cool examples and build them step by step, which will make the process both clear and entertaining.
For your convenience, you can find all of them on CodePen [and on AnyChart Playground] so you could play with the line charting code further without limits.
