JS Linear Gauge by AnyChart and More

August 15th, 2016 by Margaret Skomorokh


Here are the the data visualizations (and related information) that we have posted this week on AnyChart Facebook Page and in Twitter, including a JS Linear Gauge by AnyChart:

  • The Real Value of $100 in Each State – Everything is relative. This map by Tax Foundation shows the real value of $100 in each state in the U.S. Prices for the same goods are often much cheaper in states like Missouri or Ohio than they are in states like New York or California. As a result, the same amount of cash can buy you comparatively more in a low-price state than in a high-price state. (The visualization is based on the data published by The Bureau of Economic Analysis.)
  • Sugar Consumption by Mona Chalabi – This chart showing sugar consumption from 1700 to 2000 is only one of many wonderful handmade “data sketches” in Mona Chalabi’s Instagram. Visit it to learn about crying frequency per week, handwriting vs. typing speed, median cost of a funeral, and other facts, visualized in drawings.
  • Guide to Figuring out the Age of an Undated World Map – With this visual guide from xkcd.com, you will always be able to figure out the age of an undated world map.
  • Radio Scale – JS Linear Gauge by AnyChart – A linear gauge (added in AnyChart 7.11.0) is visual representation of a measuring device with a horizontal or vertical scale and a pointer or multiple pointers indicating particular values. The scale is usually color zoned, which helps to see what range the value of interest falls in. Linear gauges can represent thermometers, battery indicators, rulers, and any other devices with straight line–shaped scales. For example, this interactive gauge from our gallery represents a radio scale. To learn more about linear gauges in AnyChart, see the following article:
