Visualizing COVID-19 Pandemic Data for Austria Using AnyChart JS Charts
June 25th, 2020 by AnyChart Team
The COVID-19 pandemic persists as a global emergency, and we continue to support initiatives that contribute to tackling the coronavirus crisis. Specifically, we allow COVID-19 analytics projects to use our data visualization tools for free under a non-profit license.
You already know about StopCorona, a COVID tracker by Diffco, which is one such resource. Today, we want to meet you with another noteworthy project using AnyChart to visualize the pandemic statistics — iConcepts SARS-CoV-2 Stats. Created by Austrian part-time web developer Juergen Hoefer and featured on the official Open Data Austria portal, it shows the COVID-19 statistics for Austria (and worldwide) from different perspectives, in countless interactive charts powered by our JavaScript (HTML5) charting library.
We asked Juergen a few questions to learn more about this project and his experience visualizing COVID-19 pandemic data with the help of AnyChart. Read the answers and take a glance at several quick chart examples from his website. (Stack: HTML/CSV.)

How to Create Stacked Area Chart with JavaScript
June 10th, 2020 by Anastasia Zoumpliou
Stacked area charts, a variation of classic area charts, are quite a popular form of data visualization. They work great to graphically represent how multiple variables and their totals are changing over time. In this tutorial, I will show you how to easily create an interactive JavaScript stacked area chart which will look compelling in any HTML5 project, web site or app.
To demonstrate this way, which is quite simple to master even if you only have basic HTML coding skills, I am going to visualize official data about the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy. The visualizations built along the tutorial will display how the numbers of cases, recoveries, and deaths have been changing — from January 31, when the first two cases were confirmed, to yesterday, June 9, when the total number of coronavirus cases in Italy reached 235,561.

1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic in Data and Charts — DataViz Weekly
April 17th, 2020 by AnyChart Team
While the world keeps fighting the coronavirus disease outbreak, we have seen a number of attempts to draw analogies between the COVID-19 and previous influenza pandemics. Inspired by a recent National Geographic article by Nina Strochlic with graphics from Riley D. Champine, today we invite you to find out (or remember) what the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic looked like and what lessons it may offer to cope with the current crisis.
For this new DataViz Weekly, we have curated four researches on the 1918 flu pandemic in the United States. Focusing on an analysis of nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) such as social distancing measures and their role, these studies contain a lot of diverse data and charts. They are worth checking out if you’re interested in the subject of epidemics or in data science, analytics, and visualizations as such.
