Can data visualization be automated?
Automation​
Not very long ago, data visualization was a difficult and tedious process. One-click chart generation through Excel was one of the first baby steps towards full automation. These day, entire databases and spreadsheets can be automatically visualized on the fly using software such as StatPlanet Cloud.
What is automatic data visualization?
The central task of automatic data visualization is, given a dataset, to visualize its compelling stories by transforming the data (e.g., selecting attributes, grouping and binning values) and deciding the right type of visualization (e.g., bar or line charts).
What is the most common problem in data visualization?
One of the most common data visualization mistakes is including too much information. This makes it hard for viewers to formulate takeaways. Likewise, visualizations suffer when designers include too many visual effects.
