A locator inset orients viewers to the wider Gulf region.<\/p>\n<p>Further sections include more maps, such as those providing an at-a-glance view of air traffic disruptions (see the animation above) and damage assessments of key Iranian government and military sites. There are also diagrams of Iran&#8217;s power structure annotated to show which senior figures have been killed, a chart tracking U.S. public opinion on the strikes, and more.<\/p>\n<p>See the reporting on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/graphics\/IRAN-CRISIS\/MAPS\/znpnmelervl\/2026-03-05\/tanker-traffic-in-the-strait-of-hormuz-comes-to-a-standstill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Reuters<\/a>, by Sudev Kiyada, Clare Trainor Farley, Ally J.

This year marks three decades of the franchise, and the roster has grown to over 1,300 characters spanning animals, plants, ancient creatures, and beings from other dimensions.<\/p>\n<p>The Straits Times built a radial tree diagram placing all Pok\u00e9mon released through 2025 within a custom taxonomy modeled on biological classification. Arceus sits at the center as the in-universe creator, with branches extending outward through up to four nested tiers. Those are groupings like Animals, Vertebrates, Amphibians, and Frogs. Each Pok\u00e9mon appears as a colored dot at the outermost ring. A horizontal strip above the sidebar acts as a scrollable index, letting you step through every entry in sequence.<\/p>\n<p>Clicking a dot or using the search bar opens a detail panel on the right. The panel shows the Pok\u00e9mon&#8217;s real-world inspiration, its evolution chain, weight, height relative to a human figure, and a short description. Category filters, including Animals, Plants, Fungi, Objects, Sprites, Artificial, Extraterrestrials, and more, let you focus on specific branches of the tree.<\/p>\n<p>Explore the interactive on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/multimedia\/graphics\/2026\/02\/pokemon-tree-of-life\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Straits Times<\/a>, by Ang Qing, Billy Ker, Ng Weng Chi, Lee Yu Hui, Shannon Teoh, and Youjin Shin.<\/p>\n<h3>250 Years of U.S. Immigration<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/graphic-detail\/2026\/03\/04\/how-250-years-of-immigration-shaped-america\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20301\" src=\"https:\/\/www.anychart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/us-immigration-history.png\" alt=\"Visualizing 250 Years of U.S. Immigration\" width=\"100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.anychart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/us-immigration-history.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.anychart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/us-immigration-history-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/www.anychart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/us-immigration-history-1024x703.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.anychart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/us-immigration-history-768x527.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Immigration has defined American society since the country&#8217;s founding.

Researchers have long tried to categorize that terrain, but happiness resists tidy classification.<\/p>\n<p>Alvin Chang mapped over 100,000 crowdsourced happy moments onto a navigable fantasy-style landscape. Immediate pleasures sit in the north, long-term ones in the south, self-directed ones to the east, and passive moments to the west. The landmass is divided into labeled continents: Family, Children, Love, Friends and Social, Career and Work, Leisure, Hobbies and Creation, and more. Countries and sub-regions are nested inside.<\/p>\n<p>Each moment is represented by a drawn person icon. Clicking one opens a card with the contributor&#8217;s age, gender, country, marital status, and their happy moment in their own words. A minimap in the corner, laid out as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anychart.com\/chartopedia\/chart-type\/quadrant-chart\/\">quadrant chart<\/a>, keeps the two axes visible as the map is zoomed and panned.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the guided narrative, a filter panel opens up the full dataset for free exploration by location, age, sex, parental and marital status, and keyword search.<\/p>\n<p>Look at the project on <a href=\"https:\/\/pudding.cool\/2026\/02\/happy-map\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Pudding<\/a>, by Alvin Chang.<\/p>\n<h2>Wrapping Up<\/h2>\n<p>Iran crisis, Pok\u00e9mon taxonomy, two and a half centuries of U.S. immigration, and a landscape of happy moments \u2014 this week&#8217;s selections show just how many directions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anychart.com\/blog\/2018\/11\/20\/data-visualization-definition-history-examples\/\">data visualization<\/a> can take.
