Felipe's square area graph in the shape of Brazil caught my eye and works well to highlight the low number in university. For an illustration of simple and effective, check out Jeff's PGA Tour Grand Slams. In terms of standout entries from my point of view this month (and I'll just call out a few here, but reiterate that I was impressed by many of the submissions!)-I like how Arnold visualized the overlap between national and EU election turnouts.

It was neat to see a number of work-related vizzes as well, on areas like website traffic, unsupported browsers, and the marketing funnel. Other wide-ranging topics included real estate, elections, disease transmission, opioid strength, breastfeeding and movie scores to name a few. A couple people had fun with a waffle or otherwise breakfast-themed focus.

There were a number of entries focused on various aspects of gender inequality. Sports continue to be a popular theme and the square area graphs lend themselves well to depicting sports positions and seasons in addition to the typical wins/losses.

I believe their was a wider variety of tools used here than we've had on any of the challenges to date-Excel (check out how Adolpho formatted a scatterplot into a square area), PowerPoint, Tableau, PowerBI, Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, Python, R, D3, and Play Doh (yes, actual Play Doh!-see Amy's #100DayProject submission). Jon's was inspired by Nathan Yau's Animated Square Pie Chart (these visuals are called a lot of different names!), which was built using D3. Jon Schwabish created an interactive square area graph in Excel (and shared a 'how to' post). A number of people utilized Andy Kriebel's tutorial for building waffle charts in Tableau. Many people mentioned that this was their first endeavor creating this kind of graph, and I'm thrilled to hear the challenge inspired you to try something new.Ī variety of tools were used, with some great resources shared and created coinciding with the challenge. At the beginning of the month, I challenged you to create and share a square area graph-or waffle chart-and nearly 80 people did. Check out all of these beautiful square area graphs! I was highly impressed by both the sheer number and high quality of entries to this month's #SWDchallenge.
