+ made the joke at work recently: For now Claude only claims co-authorship. In one year Claude will list me as a co-author. In two years its only gonna be a footnote 'My sincerest gratitude to my human assistant whos prompt inspired this work'

CO₂ footprint of Austrian households by income deciles. An isotype visualization inspired by Marie & Otto Neurath. Made together with @kalf.bsky.social. 🔗 data-science.wifo.ac.at/emissionen-u... #DataViz #Isotype #CarbonFootprint #Inequality

Isotype chart comparing CO₂ emissions across Austrian income deciles. Each icon represents 500 kg CO₂ per person per year. Rows of colored icons are grouped by consumption category — including mobility, housing, and services — for a selected lower income decile and the richest 10%. The richest decile shows substantially more icons across all categories. A second chart below displays total emissions per decile using chimney-shaped icons.

Pas simple de reproduire les petites erreurs d'alignement de la version 1878 en 2026. Un décalage des "breaks" de scale_x_continuous(), une rotation imperceptible du g$grobs[[panel_index]] … Et ça ne se voit que si on regarde bien ;-)

Including a demo here using the function using data on time use by gender in Austria (in German):

ISOTYPE-style chart showing participation in paid work (Erwerbstätigkeit) in Austria. Two rows of small human figures: 42 out of 100 women highlighted in red, 55 out of 100 men highlighted in dark blue. Text below reads: 42% of women and 55% of men report spending time on paid work in a given week, averaging 7.5 and 8.8 hours respectively — a gap of 12.8 percentage points (26%). Men engage in paid work more frequently.

ISOTYPIFY Your Data — I made an easy to use function + webinterface to create an ISOTYPE chart with Observable/Quarto/D3! Webinterface: schmoigl.github.io/isotypify/ Observable: observablehq.com/@schmoigl/is... #dataviz #observable #isotype #d3js

Screenshot of the Isotypify web editor showing two panels: on top, a grid of interactive controls including sliders for number of rows, figures per row, cell width, cell height, and glyph size, plus color pickers and text fields for two data rows labeled "Group A" (75% highlighted) and "Group B" (45% highlighted). Below the controls, the resulting isotype chart displays two rows of small human figure glyphs — the highlighted figures in green and orange respectively, the remainder in a light beige — arranged in a grid, with row labels and percentage annotations on the left.

Now this is how you detect whether an election was stolen. Humans choose rounder numbers. by @TheEconomist

A scatter plot titled "Fair and square? Russian federal elections, 2000-21" which visualizes the results of Russian federal elections. The x-axis represents voter turnout in percentage, ranging from 0 to 100%. The y-axis represents the percentage of votes for Putin, Medvedev, or the United Russia party, also ranging from 0 to 100%. Each dot on the plot represents a polling station. A cluster of dots appears in the upper right corner, indicating high voter turnout and a high percentage of votes for the specified candidates. A dashed rectangle highlights a grid-like pattern of dots at numbers ending in zero and five, with an annotation suggesting this pattern indicates potential foul play. The source is cited as Kobak and Shpilkin (2021).

It's fun to learn how to create impactful #infographics & data-visuals like this. 2 x virtual half days: 15th & 16th Oct 🇺🇸 USA timezone 11th & 12th Nov 🇬🇧 UK/EU/AUS In-person Mon 13th Oct London 🇬🇧 Details geni.us/WAB2024 Reviews geni.us/WABreviews

A playful scatterplot (using dog silhouettes instead of dots) depicts the best dog, according to data. On the vertical axis is a measure of public popularity. On the horizontal is an indexed score of several metrics to consider when owning a dog (cost, temperament, no. of genetic ailments etc). Each dog is coloured by category (sport, toy, hound etc) and sized (S, M, L). If a dog is facing left, it's kind of a dumb dog. If it's facing right, it's an intelligent dog.
