Edward Tufte’s NYC Weather In Bokeh
- 19 July 2023
Hello, everyone! Welcome back to Cameron’s Corner. This week, I wanted to expand upon using Bokeh to visualize the weather by revisiting the Edward Tufte NYC Weather in 2003 visualization I recreated in Matplotlib. Except, this time, I want to see if Bokeh is up to the challenge.
All of the data & set up will be identical to the previous post from March, so we can gloss over those details. If you’re up to date, feel free to skip down to the Recreating Tufte in Bokeh section.
Tufte Weather In Matplotlib
- 08 March 2023
Edward Tufte is one of the pioneers of modern-day data visualization. In his work, he is brilliantly able to distill core concepts that can then be applied to nearly any form of visual communication. If you aren’t familiar with his work and are interested in the topic of data visualization in general, I highly recommend Tufte’s book, “The Visual Display of Quantitative Information”.
Given the era in which they were created, almost all of Tufte’s original works are hand drawn, relying on pen and paper. As such, his work is as artistic as it is informational, providing unique visualizations that focus attention and convey meaningful messages.
