Fork of Pantheon - Tracking Cultural Output Through The Ages (With Tooltips)
This visualization maps the cultural output of notable women throughout history, plotting each person as a circle on a world map with circle size representing their Historical Popularity Index. A date histogram with a brush filter is intended to allow temporal exploration. The visualization uses D3 v5 for geographic projections, scales, and histogram binning, with React managing the component structure. Tooltips are implemented using Tippy.js and render additional biographical data on hover. The data comes from the Pantheon dataset, filtered to women with confirmed birthdates.
AI-generated descriptionI plugged the Pantheon dataset into this dataviz template provided by Curran Kelleher.
Each dot in this map is a person with a Wikipedia bio in 15+ languages.
This is a work in progress! Apologies if it kills your browser.
Update: I've filtered the dataset by gender (Women only) to reduce load while I get it working.
Todo:
- Add a drop-down/interactive legend to be able to filter dataset by occupation.
- Add Zoom.
- Solve circle overlapping problem by implementing Voronoi tooltips.
