Description

If you're fed up with 3D pie charts and crappy line graphs that don't really seem to to tell you very much at all and think there must be be more to life when it comes to visualising data, there probably is...

Come and share ideas about how to represent your data in a graphical way, as well as tricks and tips on tools and libraries for doing a lot of the graphical donkey work for you...

PS if you want a bit of theory as a take home, check out ideas relating to "the grammar of graphics".
