C.J. Sinner, Star Tribune, on making four unique Datawrapper scatterplots

Описание: They’re not just for regressions and correlations — scatterplots in Datawrapper can be for anything that lives in a coordinate field. C.J. Sinner and her team at the Star Tribune made a timeline, a lollipop chart, a beeswarm chart, and a Taylor Swift Eras Tour surprise song tracker from this one chart type. Her session takes a behind-the-scenes look at how each one was built.

C.J. is the Director of Graphics and Data Visuals at the Star Tribune, and known for leveraging Datawrapper charts to the fullest.
