How to Build Venn Diagram Using JavaScript

March 2nd, 2023 by Shachee Swadia

Venn Diagram for Web Using JavaScriptHumans are visual beings, and charts are widely used to boost the UX when it comes to showing a lot of information. Take Venn diagrams, for example, which are great at displaying commonalities and differences between several sets of items. And it’s possible to create a nice interactive one for a web page or app without much hassle.

Scrolling through Twitter before Christmas, I came across a cool Venn diagram comparing Santa Claus, Sauron, Gandolf, and Tom Bombadil. For fun, I reproduced it using JavaScript. That appeared to be easy enough to give me an idea of a tutorial on how to quickly build JS-based Venn diagrams, which I hoped could be helpful to both designers and developers.

So, here I am with the article! The original graphic by Tea with Tolkien that inspired me is used as an illustrative example — let’s build this Venn diagram in JavaScript step by step right now!

Visualizing Text Data Hierarchy with Word Trees

January 19th, 2023 by Julien Blanchard, Meta

Visualizing Text Data Hierarchy with Word TreesOver the past few weeks, I have been looking for a quick and effective way of representing the structural differences within a set of similar-looking short sentences.

To provide a bit of context, as we approached the end of 2022, my workmates and I got heavily involved in a planning phase for the new year to start. More specifically, we were asked to write a set of objectives and key results that would help drive a common strategy across our supported programs and pillars over the months to come.

And as expected, each and every one of us ended up leaving comments for every subtle change made to the couple of sentences that had initially been dropped into a shared document. As the comments started piling up, it quickly became quite tedious to follow and understand the slight modifications that were being made to our original set of objectives and key results.

As I started exploring what we could have done to better capture and visualise these changes, I recently found a way to display text data in a hierarchical way that I thought would be worth sharing.

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.
