Information is abstract – may be a reason that why we tend to visualize. If it has some geographical attributes, visualization will be much more concrete and understandable. Below is an example using the same data set (Mainland China offset projects).

Data visualization is one of my main focuses this semester. I have been trying several different visualization tools, such as python’s matplotlib, VTK, Plotly, and finally I came to Tableau. Online and interaction are two important characters, especially for the visualization of information in huge size (which we may call big data). Tableau is the best one that can perfectly meet my demands (so far): you don’t have to coding, totally GUI interface but still retains great flexibility, online and interactive. The following chart is a simple example.
