Tableau Public
My first encounter with Tableau Public was to watch the video on how to use it effectively. This is a tool that can be used to input data, as a grid/table of numeric and categories, and then using Tableau Public, these can be transformed into suitable graphs, charts, tables, and many other visualisations.
The purpose and advantages of using this can be to make data more interesting, easier to decipher, and enhance how data is viewed to the audience.
Once the software is downloaded, there is a sample spread sheet that can be used to practise and explore using the software.
I have been provided with some data, of which I will transfer and visualise using Tableau Public, to create a visualisation that enhances the image of the data supplied.
I have also looked at the Guardians data Blog, to see a range of ideas and ways to show data in a more visually enhanced way. I have also made examples of both these tools within a presentation on Interactive environments.
