Data Visualisation Tools: A Curated List

Originally published in mid-2012, the visual list of data visualisation tools, curated by Interactive Things, is still a valuable resource.

These tools are some of the best ways to present your data.

There are many different tools available, but which one is right for you? This is a list of all the most popular options and compared them in an easy-to-read format so that you can make an informed decision about what will work best for your needs.

You can find everything from libraries to frameworks to applications that allow you to create beautiful visualisations without writing any code at all! If you want something more powerful, they have included some great resources for those who do know how to program. No matter what kind of data you need to display or what level of expertise with coding or design, there’s something here for everyone! And if we missed anything let us know by leaving a comment on this page. We hope this helps save time and effort when it comes time for your next project.

All the JavaScript libraries are there. Their are niche tools that handle hierarchical graphs (Gephi), circular visualisations (Circos), and timeline series data (Envision) are also represented. All software and code are oraganised by tags: “maps”, “charts”, “data”, and “color”.

Bookmark this page and refer back to it for inspiration, as visual reference sheet, or for the solution to your next data visualisation problem. We do.
