The new 2018 year is coming very soon, and now is a great time to look back and remember the highlights from data visualization in 2017.
A few words about our solutions to start with. After the very productive year of 2016, we at AnyChart JS Charts did a lot in 2017, too. 4 major releases full of new features! After versions 7.13.0 and 7.14.0, we launched the brand new, 8th generation of our JavaScript charting libraries, featuring a modular system and custom JS builder (8.0.0). In December 2017, we released AnyChart 8.1.0. In addition, we published a number of plugins (for Qlik, Android, Angular, Ionic and more) and technical integration samples for popular technology stacks, released Chartopedia and the brand new Playground with a whole bunch of chart examples added to our documentation, API reference and galleries. And even more.
A lot of great charts and infographics were created in 2017 by various people and companies from around the world. In the present, this year’s last Data Visualization Weekly post, we’ll tell you about 4 year-in-review articles featuring the most interesting visualizations of 2017:
