Hacking the Visual Norm
summary
Concrete techniques and outcomes: code hacks and combinations produce usable visuals rather than prettified defaults. Examples include an exploratory fraud view built from hierarchical edge bundling plus scaled donuts (the shoper DNA) that surfaces frequent identifiers, a company network for ~400 people using a voronoi technique to avoid overlap and preserve semi-stable layout, a scatter with voronoi-based tooltips and distance limits, a working brushable bar chart, and custom D3 chord hacks — all implemented and refined with user testing.
