Online data visualization by using online tools.

Data visualization is fun.

It is maybe the best part (or what I prefer most) of the data analysis process.

However is not very easy to render data in a graphic format. That is because you have to install an IDE such as RStudio for example (or Eclipse) and start learning the programming language behind it. An example of programming language is R, Java or Processing.

There are also different javascript libraries for data visualization such as d3 but in this case you have to know the basics of javascript programming and download the library in local or import it in your HTML header.

However there are different online tools you can use to make cool data visualizations without the need to know a programming language or install an IDE.

One of those tools is certainly Infogram

The best part of it is that you can use your mouse for data visualization and load the data from your computer into Infogram.
Here is an example from the Politico journal using Infogram for making an infographics about the Catalugna Independence.

Then you can share the infographics made with infogram online with people interested to see it.

Also Coggle is a great online tool for making data visualizations such as mind maps or flow charts. I wrote about Coggle here

DataTreeMap will soon publish again about data visualization tools you can use so stay tuned.

Bye for now ;-)
