Visualization Tool Round Up
November 28, 2015
Want to make a snappy visualization to impress your manager or a one star general? Navigate to “Top 5 Visualisation Tools” and explore the five recommendations. These systems output some Hollywood-style chart. Just remember to know where a particular data point came from and how the number was produced. Well, if you are briefing a CEO or a four star general, you might not have to stick to close to the facts. Just make each chart shout, “Good news.”
Here are the five systems the write up explains and illustrates:
- Gephi. Yep, free to use with a couple of caveats
- Tom Sawyer Perspectives. Not for the Huck Finns eager to kick back on a raft
- Keylines. You too can do geospatial integration
- Linkurious. Sharpen your query language skills
- GraphX. Open source and Spark what could be more wonderful?
PowerPoint away. Just remember to make sure you can answer the question, “Where did that come from?”
