I'm looking for suggestions for data visualisation.

Nothing sophisticated but I've not found anything uncomplicated yet.

I need to plot a few time series which in itself is not very complex.

However, I would like to annotate the graph to indicate various events, e.g. with vertical bars from points to the x-axis, and the duration is going to be fairly long. Also, I'd like to both get an overview and look at details.

I've used gnuplot for a bunch of things but never got good results for cases like this, and I don't know how to do annotations to plot events.

So.. any ideas?

For My 26th Sketch of Mathober2025 (curated by @fractalkitty ) , MetaLegendre is coded with #SonicPi & #Desmos. For the 11th Prompt of Orthogonal Polynomial, uses a desmos sketch that half of the Legendre Polynomials are in 2D and the other half are in 3D. For the 27th Prompt of Bidiminished, the sound is control by the volume of a Metabidiminished Icosahedron.

The Heading Problem - looking at how "nested heading levels" which aren't explicitly closed have a dangling-else problem.

More interestingly, I was gnuplotting the "height" of different #lisp forms which was pretty cool. Some notes on #emacs #orgmode #graphing .

I have discovered #python-graph-tool and python-networkx which look like they have more natural primitives for expressing what I'm trying to. #graphing #git

Hey everyone. I jammed some #declarative #lazyEvaluation #engineering #programming to tie into the climate segment of the live show in TWO hours.

Interesting declarative exploratory programming and super simple gnuplotting if I do say so.

But I basically ran out of time to make a good graph with daily temperature max/min/avg from about 1920-2020 in some weather stations in New Zealand. Any ideas??? Clock is ticking

I don't know why it was so complicated. Not enough coffee today? I could have done literally anything else. At least the separately drawn coarse hulls of the ellipses look oddly charming?

Please tell me all the things I have done wrong ;p

At least I noticed and put a bandaid on floats in my gnuplotting.

#programming #graphing #plotting #visualization #timeSeries #gnuplot #commonLisp #lisp #example https://screwlisp.small-web.org/programming/common-lisp-invoking-gnuplot/
I could not even find my own previous articles and #demos of this online!

I used #uiop run-program to handle one specific case like

(gnuplot "bad title" '((1 2) (3 4)) '((5 6) (7 8)))
or equivalently,
(apply 'gnuplot "bad title" '(((1 2) (3 4)) ((5 6) (7 8))))

Do you personally have an example? I remember it being hard to dredge up gnuplot examples but this is beyond silly.

As a teacher, I use an ipad with an apple pencil in the notes app. Sometime in the last few updates, inserting a picture no longer does so where the 'cursor' is, but instead defaults to the top of the document. I am forced to drag said photo from the top to where I was when I wanted to insert the thing. This is quite annoying when you've made many screens worth of math notes and want to insert a graph to draw on.

Then again, as most problems with tech go, the problem is likely between the keyboard (or ipad) and chair.

As a lover of data, and a hater of bad graphs, this video is great, also very mildly political.

Just for the record, the #graphing in #GoogleSheets sucks, esp. if you try to plot more than one data series at once.
