How to Create Word Tree Using JavaScript
October 14th, 2022 by Awan Shrestha
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!

Creating Circle Packing Chart with JavaScript
September 8th, 2022 by Awan Shrestha
A circle packing chart is a common data visualization technique for representing hierarchically organized data through nested circles. Due to the similarity to a treemap, which uses nested rectangles for the same purpose, sometimes it is called a circular treemap. Introduced to data analysis by American mathematician William Thurston in 1985, circle packings greatly reveal the hierarchical structure of data.
I want to show how you can easily build an elegant interactive circle packing chart with the help of JavaScript! In this step-by-step tutorial, we will be representing the world’s 100 wealthiest people in 2022 by country and industry, according to Forbes’ list of billionaires. So, get your packings done and get ready as your brain is going to get slightly richer!
