After reading the article we made this #boxplot using #LabPlot, an open source data analysis and visualization software.

The plot doesn’t provide answers, it rather invites some thinking.

      This viz is shit because nobody can understand it.

      1 dimensional visualizations are fucking stupid. The whole point of data viz is to simplify complex information; not make simple info complex.

      Yeah, not a good way to visualize as the relationship between medal count and HDI is not obvious as only outliers get highlighted. There’s nothing wrong with a traditional 2D scatter plot and axis-related box plots plotted against each axis separately
