A note on visualisation. For no good reason a majority of visualisation tools cannot handle categorical dimensions. Probably they can't be bothered with explicitly having to specify an order of the visualisation dimension. This is only one of the reasons we found tools like Excel fast, but too limited to be useful. Programmable tools like ggplot or bokeh are more powerful, but iterations take too long to visualise and that slows down the exploration process. We've found #RAWgraphs a great solution for two reasons. First, it allows categorical dimensions in the charts we used, and second, it allows SVG export for post-processing. So shout out to rawgraphs.io/

Hi all! My first post on vis.social :)

I'm one of the authors of RAWGraphs.io.

We are doing some research on how it is used in educational activities.

In the run-up for the "Information is Beautiful" Awards #iibawards today, we met yesterday to recreate some of the shortlisted #dataviz pieces by @fivethirtyeight with:

#rstats and #ggplot2 | #D3 and #Svelte | #Flourish and #RAWgraphs

Watch the results and our discussion and conclusions here 👉 youtu.be/S6dGdI9h0KM

I'll be giving a workshop in a couple of hours for those interested in learning more about the possibilities of #rawgraphs and #flourish for #informationisbeautiful. Used by developers and designers alike, these tools have a lot of potential. The only thing lacking is your imagination!
