Dutch Professions in 1899

This is an example of a visualization of a complex dataset, concerning the professions of Dutch people in 1899 in relation to the geographical location of people and their age. This visualization uses an interactive treemap, map and population pyramid to visualize the relationships between these variables.
See it here working in your browser.

Newsmap

This is an example of using treemap technology for the display of news in such a way that the most prominent items catch your eye, while it is still possible to have a feeling of the other news. The newsmap is refreshed automatically every few minutes, repositioning the news items and graphically showing the new items (wait a while to see it change).
You can see the in browser version operating on Google news here.

Fuel Consumption of cars

Some time ago we made this example of an interactive bar chart displaying the fuel consumption of cars in Australia. Although the data is quite old, it still shows how this kind of data can be represented so that the main characteristics quickly become clear.
See the example here.
