I want to write/publish an article that includes some tabular data (tens of columns, hundreds of rows) and a bunch of charts/graphs based on that data. I want the presentation of the data and the generation of the charts and graphs to be entirely programmatic, so I can change parameters in the source of the article and re-generate the graphs without having to manually manipulate graphics. I'd also like to put the chart definitions in the article itself, so savvy readers can better understand how the chart was generated.
The charts will be pretty typical line and bar graphs, maybe a few pie charts and heat maps. In the web version of the article I'd love to be able to interactively split a chart between aggregate and fine grained categories, or to animate from one chart to a different chart with the same scale and the lines in different places. However, those are not hard requirements, especially if they would require custom UI implementation.
What tool(s) should I use to create this? So far I'm considering LaTeX and IPython, but I'm decades out of touch with this sort of tech so I'm curious if there are newer better options.
Hi everyone,
I’ve been looking for a YouTube video that features a chart showing the evolution of a stock price, with an auto-updating scale as the price changes :

Could anyone point me to the website, software, or programming language that might have been used to create such a chart?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Any recommendations for an app that allows you to journal but also create vision boards and manifestations. I’ve tried researching and I’m at a loss. Any help would be appreciated.
How much can a freelancer make creating data visualizations for Visual Capitalist?
Does anyone know what this style of graphic is called and what R or other software can be used to make one? I like the colour schema across boxes effect. I'm guessing there's term of this type of graphic and an R package that will make them.
On YouTube, there is a channel called Vgraphs that shares bar chart race videos with a unique design. Can anyone explain how to create bar chart race videos with a similar design to that channel?

Hi, I am looking for examples where a narrative is being created using storytelling through the lens of information design. For example, http://giorgialupi.com/the-digital-in-architecture
Here Giorgia Lupi creates a narrative mapping history of digital design.
I just wrapped up a series in my Beyond Basic Charts collection, where I designed modern, interactive Tableau dashboards from scratch!
Want to see them in action?
Explore on my Tableau Public
Want to learn how I built them?
Check out my Youtube tutorials for step-by-step guides:
1. Overview 2. Sales 3. Orders
What sets these dashboards apart?
• Next-Level Visuals: Custom designs that break free from Tableau’s defaults.
• Interactive Features Built In: Add time-period filter buttons and navigation tabs for seamless exploration.
• Modern Aesthetic: Clean layouts, gradient designs, and rounded corners that make your dashboards pop.
I’ve been using Tableau for a couple of years at work, mostly focused on data analysis. But I wanted a creative outlet, so I started creating dashboards that are both functional and stylish—just for fun!
Let me know what you think, and feel free to share your own tips for making dashboards stand out :)

These policies are numerous, large, complex, and often related making it difficult on knowing how to categorise them. Trying to organise these policies is impossibly complex. It's easily the most complex problem I've ever had to deal with. I'm still stuck on how to do it in the bigger picture.
Right now, I have the general structure and policies sorted into documents of which there are hundreds. I use a file explorer called OneCommander to help me better visualise the organisation of the documents but it's still just a file explorer.
What I need is policy/document management software that I can use to better visualise, organise, and access the documents in an easy and seamless manner. I need to be able to order the documents in a completely custom order rather than fixed orders such as alphabetical or chronological order that file explorers demand. The documents also need to be able to refer and link to each other such as how a wikipedia article works when it mentions a concept covered by another article. The documents need to be seamlessly backed up to a cloud service but whilst also being encrypted, and fundamentally it HAS to be able to work fully offline when I need it to. It has to be extremely reliable because these documents are immensely important.
Which software best fits what I need?
