How to create your own

Create your own: comparative chart

  • Comparative charts are used to compare things such as performance, ranks, changes or characteristics. Basic comparative charts can be created in standard applications such as Excel using line graphs.

Create your own: treemap

  • A Treemap is a visualisation of hierarchical structure. You can upload data to online tools such as Many Eyes to create interactive Treemaps. However, we are not aware of any standard desktop tools that can be used to create Treemaps (please email if you know of anything!).

Parallel Sets (ParSets)

Screenshot for 'Parallel Sets (ParSets)'
Parallel Sets is a technique for visualizing categorical data. It helps you get away from representing individual data points, and instead show sets and subsets of items with certain combinations of criteria.<br />This example illustrates the people on board the Titanic. In a way, ParSets is a mix between parallel coordinates and treemaps/mosaic plots.
