Mike Bostock D3 (2011) - still the craft backbone of custom viz data joins to SVG/Canvas marks with explicit scales Yes if one claim is visible at a glance in Meta, Google and retail print; otherwise link to a full figure. Yes for lab reports and poster boards if axes, units and a source line are present.
Excel or Google Sheets or PowerPoint; export SVG/PDF. Do not rely on hue alone. Label directly and check greyscale. D3 custom craft: honour data joins to SVG/Canvas marks with explicit scales, and switch when a Chart.js bar already answers the manager question. The core mark of D3 custom craft is data joins to SVG/Canvas marks with explicit scales.
novel forms, research figures, bespoke explainers The eye compares length and position more accurately than area. PowerPoint, Excel or Google Sheets and Meta, Google and retail print share the same geometry. Decoration rarely persuades; it slows reading. Perspective distortion wrecks comparison. Keep it flat.
Keep axis, unit, and year. If “Audience” is the axis, the figure is 3 and the year is 3. Keep D3 custom craft with “Audience” and 3 from 3. 33
