The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is estimated to produce 15 petabytes of data per year. This is difficult to store let alone understand!
With connected devices quickly out numbering connected people, we are soon going to be swamped with data. Visualising the constant stream of information we are collecting so that it can be better understood is going to be a critical task.
In this presentation, I’ll walk you through a quick overview of some basic chart and graph design, then look at how easy it is to write some quick scripts in your favourite language to produce beautiful graphics. SVG is an under-rated technology, but it can be created programmatically and quickly to visualise data.

32. Data to Ink Ratio
A large share of ink on a graphic should
present data-information, the ink
changing as the data change. Data-ink is
the non-erasable core of a graphic, the
non-redundant ink arranged in response
to variation in the numbers represented.
Tufte, 1983
