9.2 Some interactive visualizations

For each example think about the following questions: What is the aim of this visualization? What are the interactive elements in this visualization, i.e. how can users interact with this visualization? What data lies behind this visualization? Start with Australia’s population pyramid..

• Lobbyradar: Search for ‘Angela Merkel’ and ‘Krauss-Maffai Wegmann GmbH & Co. KG’ (was stopped…)
• Google Ngram Viewer
• Google Trends and an example (try Michael Jackson)
• PreisKaleidoskop
• Interactive Population Pyramid for Australia
• D3 gallery and Force-Directed Graph and Matrix Diagram for character co-occurrences in Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables

Finally, as a preview for Shiny:

• Shiny Gallery
• Showmeshiny
