!NFLECT

Modulating visualizations to tell stories with data

This repository contains a template and example stories that illustrate the idea of interpretative interactions with data visualizations and other inflectable media.

Example stories

The folder structure is quite straightforward and enables you to add inflected visualisations to your own story.

To add a new visualisation to your story, we recommend using the Vega-Lite editor to create the basic visualisation.

The vega-lite spec json file can then be placed in the SPECS folder.

Copy the corresponding data to the DATA folder.

Open the edit mode of the inflection tool by opening the inflection page in your browser.

Make sure the vis parameter in the URL is set to the filename of your vega-lite spec.

The UI offers some options to add annotations to your visualisation.

You can use the link emoji to copy the current inflection of your visualisation to your clipboard.

Add the link to the README markdown file to add the inflected visualisation to your story.

Also have a look at the documentation image in the img folder to find out more.

It contains further detail on the folder structure...

...has a cheat sheet on how to use and author the repo...

...and explains how the URL hash encodes the inflections.
