For work, I’ve got a data set that might be applicable – there’s ~100 data points, which are grouped into 3 major sets. At the moment, we show the 3 sets on separate bar charts, but this technique might let us show them all on one page. The radial nature of the layout gives more room at the circumference to show labels for the various bars.

    If you are not familiar with it already, you might like to look at the work of Stamen design . Seems up your alley…

    Thanks Matthew. I had come across their Backchannel work before, but I hadn’t seen some of those others
