While maps are obviously an incredibly powerful tool of data visualization, graphs and charts also have a place in geospatial communication. In this lab, we learned how to use an open source JavaScript library called Chart.js to make dynamic, responsive, accessible charts for web and mobile.
Chart.js is one of many different options that exist for making charts and graphs with JavaScript. Other common libraries include D3.js and Chartist.js. While each has its own advantages, Chart.js was chosen for this lab because it is relatively easy to use, has good documentation, and is an overall great option for simple charts and graphs.
