Data visualization

[saracolh]

Hi! I am creating a digital collection with press materials about the history of rock in Colombia. I would like to add the visualizations from my data analysis on a new page of my CollectionBuilder site. Could you please explain how I can do this? I am also interested in knowing if it's possible to include interactive visualizations.

Thank you very much!

Sara.

@saracolh Sounds like an interesting collection! First, check the docs for how to add a page to your site. Then for adding data visualizations there is a lot of different approaches that could work depending on your viz:

• Add as images - if you created some sort of chart/viz in Python or R or whatever, you could export as an image (or gif for simple animation) and put it on your page.
• Embed iframe - if you created interactive viz in some online platform, there is usually an option to get embed code (usually an iframe) that you could paste into your page in your CB collection.
• Create using a javascript library - it is definitely possible to add self-contained interactive visualizations using js libraries such as D3, Chart.js, or Plotly. Obviously there is quite a bit more of a learning curve. Usually, I try to find an example that matches the basics of what I want to do, and adapt the code for my project. Copilot / LLMs can help quite a bit with this.
