Data Visualization Tools (IITM Data Visualization Jan 2023)

[venkatrajam]

With a plethora of both commercial & free visualization tools & libraries available, it can often be confusing to pick the right tool for your requirement. Also from the learning point of view, one doesn't know which tool or set of tools should invest time & effort in to learn.

In her 2016 article "What I Learned Recreating One Chart Using 24 Tools", Lisa Charlotte Rost tried out 12 data vis applications and 12 data vis libraries and programming languages and reported a comparative evaluation.

In this assignment, you will recreate the exercise with at least 5 charting tools or libraries (total 5 not 5 each) for the given dataset (auto-mpg.csv). You may create any chart type, but using at least 2 variables from the dataset. Having decided on chart type & variables, repeat the same chart using the 5 chart tools or libraries. Paste your charts as a comment to this issue. Add text to each chart identifying the tool/library you used for the chart.
