All that good work by Šavrič, Patterson and Jenny getting the UN to adopt the Equal Earth map projection, and here I am undoing it with Fourier harmonics. See also: observablehq.com/@jwolondon/t... and observablehq.com/@jwolondon/m...

A sketchy looking global map using the Equal Earth map projection. Land is shown in terracotta and sea in pale blue. Black coastal outlines are very rounded and are generated by extracting the 17th Fourier harmonic of each polygon ring and then applying Chaikin corner rounding. The goal is to allow any arbitrary TopoJSON to be transformed into loose sketchy geometry.

Want to embed your @observablehq.com notebook cells in a Powerpoint-style presentation? I've created a tutorial and an interface to reveal.js that allows web-sharable interactive Observable cells to be embedded in full screen presentations. observablehq.com/@jwolondon/o...

Example slide with a pale cream background from a presentation that uses slideshow.

The slide shows a large square labelled 'Camden' in its bottom-left corner and five rows of small squares forming 15 horizontal bars aligned from the right of the large square. Each set of three rows shows a pale colour and sometimes darker colour in green, red, orange, blue and cyan from top to bottom. They represent political parties Greens, Labour, Liberal Democrats, Conservative and Reform respectively. To the right adjacent to the three orange bars are text labels saying 'alphabetically first within party', 'alphabetically second within party' and 'alphabetically third within party'. These form part of a visual explanation of the chart. Below the square and annotation is a legend across the slide width relating each of the colours to the political parties and 'unelected / elected' labels above the pale and darker version of each colour.

Continuing with my #datavis project to create terrain maps in @observablehq.com Plot. Automatic placement of contour labels along 'contour ladders' ensuring labels are appropriately spaced, in a readable orientation and coherently clustered. Not straightforward so quite pleased with result.

Section of a terrain map with shaded relief and contour lines. Shows a north-south ridge in the central portion (the Helvellyn range in the English Lake District). Small contour labels can be seen in a line running down the western flank of the ridge on the left of the map. A similar left-right sequence of contour labels can be seen at the bottom of the map view. At the right-centre is pyramidal shaped peak with contour labels in a line down slope to the bottom right.

Because I am generating my maps in Observable and JavaScript, I am having to confront the second hardest problems in both Computer Science and Cartography: Sensible variable naming and label placement. I think their combination makes it the hardest problem in all disciplines.

Inset of a larger map of Lake District fells. It shows a shaded relief and contour surface centred around the Langdale Pikes with the summits of Loft Crag, Pike O'Stickle, Harrison Stickle, Pavey Ark, Thunacar Knott, Blea Rigg, Sergeant Man, High Raise and Tarn Crag, all indicated with a blue triangle. Part of the map title is shown in the bottom left with the "k Three Central Fells" seen (The "Boo" of "Book" outside the inset frame).

Map of the Far Eastern fells of the English Lake District. The map is a shaded relief in sepia tones reflecting the 'red' colour of Wainwright's 'Far Eastern Fells' book. Major lakes of Ullswater (top), Haweswater (right) and Windermere (bottom-left) are shown in blue. The town of Ambleside in labelled at the bottom-left of the map. On top of the shaded relief, all 36 Wainwright summits are marked as dark red triangles with text below each giving its name. These are connected with red dashed lines generated from my GPS walking tracks. The title of the map in the bottom-right corner says "Book Two The Far Eastern Fells".

London Data Week #LDW starts today with an interesting and packed programme of free events (but book in advance): londondataweek.org/ldw26-events/ I will be giving a talk on Friday about revealing voting biases with 📊 following the recent local elections. londondataweek.org/ldw26-events...

BallotMap for London showing name-ordering bias in ranked votes

A grid of 32 squares arranged in an approximate diamond shape representing the 32 boroughs of London.

Each square is a London borough. Within each, the candidates for the main parties are shown as coloured lines (Greens: green, Labour: red, LibDems: orange, Conservatives: blue, Reform: cyan, Aspire: pink). They are ordered in rows where the top row is the alphabetically first candidate within their party and ward, the second row alphabetically second, and the bottom row alphabetically last. Darkest lines are those where the candidate received most votes within their party; medium lines where they received the middle number of votes within their party and lightest lines where they received the fewest.

Only those in ballots where they were one of three party candidates shown.

This allows us to see where people have split their vote between parties, choosing just one or two from the slate of three in a given party.

A darker lines in the top row compared to the bottom row of each square indicates voting perference for candidates with names closer to start of alphabet.

We see darker lines in the top row for every borough in London. Some boroughs with particularly strong name bias (strong contrast between top and bottom rows) include Enfield (Enf), Havering (Hvg), Bromley (Brm) and Merton (Mrt). Slightly weaker effects can be seen in Richmond (Rch) and Tower Hamlets (Tow) where party preference exerts a strong influence.

Fun fact: by my analysis*, 264 councillors were elected on Thursday on account of their alphabetical name advantage. Therefore 264 candidates denied a position because of their name disadvantage. *calculated by comparing vote totals with average vote given to their party in multi-seat ballots.

I didn't want to pollute this wonderful thread from Moose, so have kept this one separate, but it seems apposite today. Amazing how Prime Minister technology has developed. Our current Prime Ministerial average term of office (left) and an original 1980's term of office, the size of a brick!

A sketchy bar chart showing two bars. A short red bar on the left representing a value of 1.23 years average term of office for Prime Ministers in the 2020s (so far). Above it is the label "2020s". To its right a larger blue bar representing the value 11.57 years for the average term of office for the Prime Minister in the 1980s (who shall not be named). Within it is the label "1980s". The vertical axis labels to the left of both bars show 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 years.

Now all election results for London are in, here is a 📊 BallotMap showing significant name-ordering bias in voting. See annotations / alt-text for details. The map shows us where people choose to split their vote between parties choosing from top of ballot paper, and where party loyalty dominates.

BallotMap for London showing name-ordering bias in voting behaviour.

Each large square is a London borough. Within each, the candidates for the main parties are shown as coloured small squares (Greens: green, Labour: red, LibDems: orange, Conservatives: blue, Reform: cyan, Aspire: pink). They are ordered in rows where the top row is the alphabetically first name within their party and ward, the second row alphabetically second, and the bottom row alphabetically last. Darker cells are those where the candidate was elected to office.

Only those in ballots where they were one of three party candidates shown. Elected candidates indicated in darker colours.

This allows us to see where people have split their vote between parties, choosing just one or two from the slate of three in a given party.

A ◥ shape in a party's distribution indicates voting perference for candidates with names closer to start of alphabet.

Boroughs with split votes showing strongest bias include Haringey (Hgy), Ealing (Elg), Hounsalow (Hns), Wansworth (Wns) and Southwark (Swr). Boroughs with the lest name bias effect are those with strong party preference such as the Liberal Democrats in Richmond (Rch) and Kingston (Kng); Aspire in Tower Hamlets (Tow); Reform in Havering (Hvg); and all parties in Hillingdon and in Bromley.

If your name wasn't near the front of alphabet you had less chance of being elected yesterday. 📊 For wards with 3 candidates standing per party, we can compare alphabetical name ordering with vote ordering by party If no name bias we'd expect all squares to have the same number of candidates. But…

A set of 6 'bias matrices' arranged in two rows of 3. Each matrix comprises a 3 by 3 grid along 2 axes: Horizontal, rank of votes received within party (1st, 2nd, 3rd); vertical, alphabetical rank of candidate name within the party they are standing for (1st corresponding to names near the top of the alphabet, 3rd near the bottom of the alphabet).

The 6 matrices show respecictively:

Top-left (greys) - counts for all parties with 3 candidates submitted;
Top-centre (blues) - counts of Conservative candidates where 3 Conservative candidates were standing.
Top-right (reds) - counts of Labour candidates where 3 Labour candidates were standing.
Bottom-left (greens) - counts of Green Party candidates where 3 Green candidates were standing.
Bottom-centre (cyans) - counts of Reform UK candidates where 3 Reform candidates were standing.
Bottom-right (oranges) - counts of Conservative candidates where 3 Conservative candidates were standing.

All grids show a strong name bias with higher numbers of candidates both first in terms of party votes and first alphabetically; higher numbers of candidates 2nd and 2nd; 3rd and 3rd.

The effect is strongest for Labour and the Greens and weakest (but still dominant) for the LibDems and Reform.

Shadowed somewhat by the more egregious fabrication of "Tactical Choice" by Labour in the Gorton and Denton by-election was this chart crime. Although credit to them, they did at least provide some handy grid squares for checking that non-zero axis problem.

Photo a leaflet provided by the Labour Party (Photo credit: Green Party) on the eve of the Gorton and Denton by-election. It shows a bar chart with 4 hours representing the predicted proportion of the vote for 4 parties: 32% Reform in teal; 31% Labour in red; 28% Green in dark grey; and 9% others also in dark grey. The heights of the bars show a larger gap between Labour's 31% and Green's 28% than we would expect if height was linearly scaled with value. It suggests the baseline of the scale is a value greater than 0. In the background of the bar chart area is a regular grid square pattern of grey lines.

The text in the top right of the bar chart region reads "Source: Britain Predicts" with small print below it reading "(not including polling funded by Green Party donors)".

To the right of the bar chart is text reading "Your polling day checklist. Remember to bring your ID to vote; Find your polling station at iwillvote.org.uk; Polls are open from 7am to 10pm"
