Improving Data Visualizations

I used Willian S. Cleveland's principles of plotting in order to improve a data visualization I found online.

Principles of Good Visualizations

Improving Vision

• Reducing clutter
• Use visually prominent data elements
• Use proper scale lines and a data rectangle
• Be careful with reference lines, labels, notes, and keys

Improving Understanding

• Provide explanations and draw conclusions
• Use all available space
• Align juxtaposed plots
• Use log scales when appropriate
• Bank to 45 degrees

Tools Used

• D3.js
• Bulma
