Pantheon - Tracking Cultural Output Through The Ages (With Tooltips)
A geospatial bubble map plots notable women from Pantheon.world by birthplace, with circle size encoding each person’s Historical Popularity Index and color mapping occupation. A linked brushable time-series histogram below aggregates the same metric by birth month, filtering the map’s visible points via a D3 brush. The visualization uses `geoNaturalEarth1`, `geoPath`, `scaleSqrt`, and `scaleOrdinal` for mapping, and renders tooltips with Tippy.js on hover. Data loads from a remote CSV, while world geometry comes from TopoJSON.
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.
