Original Chart
What works well?
- Clear title
- Line chart is a good choice for a time series
What could be improved?
- There are too many colors.
- What's the focus?
- The legend takes up a lot of space.
- The chart ratio is too flat.
- Overall, it's confusing and harder than necessary to find patterns.
What I did
I iterated through a series of line charts that helped me compare the countries, compare each country to the EU average, and compare each country to a specific country/year combination. The latter was created using parameter actions.
From there, I built sparklines, a trellis chart, and finally a stacked area chart and a starburst chart. The starburst chart looks cool, but it's really hard to read. I like the stacked area chart best. Pictures of both ae below the Watch Me Viz video.
I hope you learned a lot!
