Raw, a tool to turn spreadsheets to vector graphics by Nathan Yau.

From the post:

Sometimes it can be a challenge to produce data graphics in vector format, which is useful for high-resolution prints. Raw, an alpha-version tool by Density Design, helps make the process smoother.

As the description Nathan quotes says:

…it is a sketch tool, useful for quick and preliminary data explorations as well as for generating editable visualizations.

I’m comfortable with the idea of data explorations.

Makes it clear that no visualization is inherent in data but is a matter of choice.

  1. I don’t know if you followed any of the links but Lomen (also from Density Design)

    It looks like a very interesting interface for Topic Maps. With the filtering and what they call Thematic Paths, it looks like a much better way to navigate the link heavy content of a topic map than the usual topic map console.
