Want to improve your #dataviz design eye?

➡️ I just released a little game:

You have to spot the better version of a chart and learn the fundamental concepts along the way.

What's your score!? 😀

Is the green group increasing or decreasing?

I really love this kind of examples, illustrating the weaknesses of a chart type 🙂

Love your portfolio! ❤️

You're going to love d3, but it's a bit hard at the beginning!

Do you want to work in a react environment?

2 websites I made that could help you:
- d3-graph-gallery.com
- react-graph-gallery.com

Anything that make you struggle, please let me know and I'll write a tuto :)

Never use a dual Y axis line chart!

I made a little playground:
You can tweak the axis limits and see how different the graph looks like:

🚨 Stop chasing the p-value!

Increasing your sample size will always yield a significant result.
Even for trivial differences.

🎮 I created a little interactive playground to illustrate this issue:
react-graph-gallery.com/example/t-test-playground

Always pair p-values with effect sizes!

🎁 New tutorial on the R Graph Gallery!

A bump chart by @matschnetzer

The key to clarity in this #dataviz is highlighting a few key lines, preventing the chart from becoming too cluttered (aka spaghetti chart)

➡️ Full code and explanation:

🚨 r2 can be very misleading!

I just made a little scatterplot where you can drag circles and instantly see the r2 & regression line:

Perhaps it can help you get a better intuition of how r2 works!

Recently a Nobel Laureate gave a talk with a very very bad scatterplot.

I can't find it again.. 😔

Any idea?? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

What background color should your data vis have? - Datawrapper Blog Let's look at 100 data visualizations from advanced data vis designers and beginners. Which background colors do they use – and why?

Never know what color to use for your graph background?

Check this article by @lisacmuth.bsky.social !

🌈 If in light mode, use a bright color (high luminance) and a low saturation. Stay in warm tones.

🌚 If in dark mode, use dark grays instead of pure black
