TOWARDS THE GRAMMAR OF ANIMATION
summary
Claims a reusable animation engine that morphs between chart types and ships as an open-source Vizzu JS library (public beta). Engine follows a grammar-of-graphics interface, makes every parameter interpolatable, and encodes rules found by testing: fade then reflow when hiding elements, introduce new categories by splitting existing marks first, and avoid rectangle overlap for bar/column moves. Shows racing bars, Rosling-style bubbles, a COVID explorer and a Chernobyl liquidator story; performance scales to thousands of marks via C++→WASM.
