3D Visualization of U.S. Presidential Polls in F#
Posted by Chance Coble on October 27, 2008
The US presidential race has been really exciting lately – and I thought it might be an opportunity for me to use some of the visualization work I have been doing to enhance my understanding of what is happening on a state by state basis as time passes. The result is a lot of fun – and I hope you will enjoy viewing it. I screencasted a walkthrough of the work, and posted it to youtube. You can get it from the A6 Visualizations page. The data was made available by electoral-vote.com.
The 3D Sparkline is what I had the most fun developing. While the 3rd dimension doesn’t add information to the sparkline itself – it does allow us to assocate the sparkline to a location in 3D space which clarifies polling relationships.
