“A picture is worth a thousand words. An interface is worth a thousand pictures.” — Ben Shneiderman
We’ve all seen wonderful interactive data visualisations on the web and want to bring similar interaction principles to our business dashboards. But crafting an interactive data visualisation on the web is hard. If you don’t want to use proprietary tools like Tableau or you don’t (yet) have the coding skills with D3.js or R-Shiny or Python, your options are limited.
What if you could write an interactive data visualization in the same easy declarative way that you can write markdown to create HTML pages. In this talk, I explain how using a declarative grammar based approach can dramatically speed up the creation of interactive visualisation. I will also talk about a small tool called Visdown, which is open source and created using the excellent vega data visualisation library. You only need to learn the grammar and principles of interactive graphics, and you can then start your own journey in crafting interactive dashboards.
Grammar of interactive graphics: The four layers of abstraction
Using a Declarative Grammar based Tool
Visualizing a multidimensional dataset
Adding interactive data-model manipulation
Building your own declarative visualisation tools
