There’s an interesting visualization system called d3
- that I only became aware of a few months ago. It uses a fairly minimal system, javascript and support vector graphics
- but is capable of producing tremendously rich graphics. I’ve tried
- when I have a few spare moments
- to learn d3. It’s not that complicated
- but I am hindered by a lack of knowledge about javascript. It’s also difficult to debug a d3 program. There’s a new library in R that should make things a bit easier for someone like me. It’s called r2d3 and is being promoted with the new preview release of RStudio.
