In his graphic design work, Aldon transforms periodic tables and dense masses of information into maximalist pieces of design, expressing information whilst also challenging the impossibility of taking it all in. Data sprawls across screens and pages, overlapping in overloads and feedback loops, communicating more the aesthetic of information rather than its substance, playing with images we have all seen in science classes or colour palettes. These are exploded infographics.

The chart showed the vote totals over time for Wisconsin. At first glance, it appeared that Joe Biden was lagging far behind Donald Trump and then suddenly surged ahead to a tie. Almost immediately, people online seized on the image, claiming that all those Biden votes were actually evidence of fraud. In fact, it was nothing of the sort, and both Trump and Biden's votes had increased - the result of a large batch of absentee and mail ballots being counted all at once.

What football fans expect from sports sites has shifted completely. Dry match reports about yesterday's game don't cut it anymore. People want real-time numbers, instant updates, and analytics they can actually dig into. Site owners who want to keep visitors around have no choice - static pages need to become living information hubs, and data visualization tools make that happen. High-quality infographics are becoming just as important an element as original articles.

Another year. It passed extremely fast and yet, painfully slow. Despite developing tech that some think might take over our day-to-day work, data things got made by people this year. These are my favorites. Inside the Confusing World of Women's Clothing Sizes They approached the topic from several angles with 3-D models, data collection, and sizing charts. Adding to the visualization genre of variable clothes sizes, this piece helped me appreciate the process that is women's shopping. [ See the Project / On FlowingData]

Even if you were unfamiliar with the concept, each day - perhaps several times a day - you might have peered anxiously through the lens of your macroscope of choice, and what you saw determined whether your day would be one marked by anxiety or relief, hope or despair.

When we consider the subway, it's often for reasons that have to do with decay and deterioration. The switches are outdated. The elevators are broken. The train is late (again). Of course it could be better, but rarely do we pause to take in what the system does right. Its 25 lines, 472 stations, and 665 miles of track traverse the city and offer a tremendous amount of mobility.

A Post analysis of internal data from the first half of the year shows that supplies valued at more than $190 million were scheduled to arrive at distribution warehouses by the end of June. Instead, the analysis found, shipments worth nearly $76 million were not delivered, including the majority of medication needed to combat severe malaria. Some medicines never left the places where they were manufactured, and others were stranded in ports or customs facilities near the cities and villages where they were needed.

When an incident occurs, every second counts. Whether it's a security breach, theft, or an unauthorized access attempt, physical security teams must act quickly to determine what happened, who was involved, and what actions to take next. Digging through hours of footage, manually piecing together evidence, and cross-referencing logs can be slow and cumbersome. But with a modern video management system ( VMS), security teams can streamline investigations, improve response times, and uncover critical insights faster - "supercharging" their investigations.

Can you create a histogram of game total scores to see the distribution of scoring? Could you make a box plot comparing home vs away team scores? Let's create a scatter plot of temperature vs total score to see if weather affects scoring. Can you show me the distribution of betting spreads and how they relate to actual game results? Could you create a visualization showing win/loss records by team?

The Generative AI system, Claude, faced challenges in calculating a triad color harmony that meets accessibility standards for color vision deficiencies.

The point was to show the improved performance of GPT-5 over previous models. However, the labels do not remotely match the bar heights.

BoxLang does not include an embedded client-side charting library, but it assists in building charts by allowing integration with client-side libraries like Chart.js.

Google's AI Mode is now fully operational in India and the US, allowing users to access advanced features without the need for a Labs sign-up.

Venn diagrams use overlapping circles to show the relationship between two or more things, facilitating comparisons across various fields.

"All visible slicers were not set up, but the numbers were too low... Thankfully, the Filters feature helps us understand what filters are applied to the visual."

Fragapane transforms cold data into engaging, emotional forms, using beauty to connect viewers with living narratives behind stark statistics.

An effective executive dashboard serves as a command center, allowing executives to access actionable data and key metrics needed for informed decision-making without overwhelming details.

Engaging Data's interactive map allows users to select a country and projection, shifting the view to center around their chosen location, enhancing geographical perception.

A self-service analytics tool should empower non-technical users to explore and visualize data intuitively, requiring minimal assistance from the data team post-setup.

A waterfall chart in Google Sheets is an effective visualization tool, clarifying how positive and negative values contribute to overall results, starting each bar where the previous one ends.

"When you start out, you think you're the one who's stupid. But after ten years in science, you realize, okay, now I'm an expert and I still don't understand some of these figures."
