Minimalistic mapping with isolines 😍 It shows Europe's average maximum temperature in July. The closer the lines are, the more complex the orography, with large temperature changes in small areas, such as mountain regions. Each step between two thermolines is 2ºC. #dataviz #mapping #rstats

🐟 This is one of the weirder charts in my collection of examples: a set of fish icons to compare funds. I use it when I talk about visual variables. This chart uses SIZE as a visual variable in 15 different ways, to show 15 different aspects of a fund. 1/4

A stylized infographic features fish illustrations to visually represent different investment profiles. Each fish encodes multiple financial characteristics. The fins on its back indicate the region, distinguishing among the Americas, Asia, the European Union, and Africa & the Middle East, as well as whether the market is emerging or developed. The shape of the tail represents the company's market capitalization—small, medium, or large. The size of the fish's eye reflects its performance, defined as the current return as a percentage of its historical maximum. The contour of the fish's body conveys investment style, such as value, core, or growth. Finally, the shape and position of the fish's mouth and side fin signal the sector classification: cyclical (like materials and financials), sensitive (like energy and technology), or defensive (such as healthcare and utilities). A legend on the right explains the full visual grammar, mapping each fish attribute to its financial meaning.

It's been a _very_ long time, but I finally wrote an extensive full dataviz design creation blog post again! 🙌 You can read about all the ups and downs, what worked, when it spectacularly failed, of trying to create the GitHub Top Contributor Network here: www.visualcinnamon.com/2025/01/gith...

Blessings upon city and county GIS offices that make road and sidewalk polygons available, so that I can calculate just how much of a city has been sacrificed to the almighty automobile. (Looks like about 8% of Cincinnati.)

A map of central Cincinnati showing surface area given to cars (roads, driveways, and parking lots) and to pedestrians (sidewalks, plazas, and parks). The car areas stand out more, especially because of large highways approaching and traversing downtown.

PSA: Alphabetical order is often bad for geodata! I took the data from the WSJ article below and used a more natural geographical order; it makes it possible to see regional measles epidemics in 1935-36, the western polio outbreak, etc. Interactive notebook. observablehq.com/d/53c696e100...

Disease prevalence in US states before & after vaccine introduction Graphic from Edward Tufte More graphics.wsj.com/infectious-d... 🧪

Graphic shows dramatic reduction in polio, rubella, mumps, measles, and hepatitis A cases after the introduction of vaccines for each disease.

Here is an animation of the percent of precipitation that falls as snow throughout the year. [Note: some of the summer snow colors are erroneous artifacts from the calculations I performed - not bad data.]
