StatTrends Features

StatTrends has support for the following interactive visualizations:

- Animated bubble charts (similar to Hans Rosling's Gapminder)
- Bar and column charts, including bullet charts
- Scatter plots or bubble charts
- Time series graphs
- Vertical bubble charts - a combination of the bar chart and the bubble chart

StatTrends empowers users to interact with and explore the data through the following features:

  • Explore several indicators over time through the powerful bubble chart (similar in features to Gapminder and Google's Motion Chart). In addition to the x-axis and y-axis variables, a third variable can be displayed through bubble size. The 'bubbles' can be animated over time, and optionally 'trails' can be displayed to visualize trends for individual bubbles.
  • Play time-based animation for all chart and graph types;
  • Select and compare multiple indicators through drop-down menus;
  • Select and highlight variables of interest, and optionally display additional information through popups;
  • Customize the graph scale and colors (both within the StatTrends user interface, or pre-set using the included Data Editor);
  • Organize lists of variables into groups, enabling users to easily switch between different groups of variables. A variable group can also be created by users through the StatTrends user interface;
  • Maintains user selection when switching between different indicators and graph types.
