Graphing data made easier with dataWrapper

We’ve been wanting to display our numeric data in a more attractive way for a long time.

Over the last couple of months we’ve been trying out DataWrapper and today we got a chance to use it live on a story about the amount of money that the IW council spends on media in a year.

We’re pleased with the results. Not only is there a little interactivity with the graph that is created – mousing over the items, highlights them – but getting the data into the system is as simple as copying and pasting the columns out of a spreadsheet.
