Although it’s not something I’d ever use, the fact that someone spent time building a tool that generates some of the most interesting and dense graphics I’ve ever seen amazes me.
Circos compares genome maps and displays their similarities and differences in numerous visual formats — http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/circos/?
It was the software used in the graphic showing Presidential candidates’ references to other candidates, as mentioned in an earlier post.
Thanks to FlowingData for the link.
The NYT posted a fine graphic — http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2007/12/15/us/politics/DEBATE.html — showing references between candidates, using a slick and informative network diagram. Shows how useful a bird’s eye view can be, but still allow diving into the details.
But are all the debate transcripts represented?
