Slopegraphs in Python – Gratuitous Raphaël Animations
So, I had to alter this to start after a user interaction. It loaded fine as a static, local page but seems to get a bit wonky embedded in a complex page. I also see some artifacts in Chrome but not in Safari. Still, not a bad foray into…
Slopegraphs in Python – Formatting Tweaks
There were enough eye-catching glitches in the experimental javascript support and the ugly large-number display in the spam example post that I felt compelled to make a couple formatting tweaks in the code. I also didn't have time to do…
Slopegraphs Everywhere

Slopegraphs – The Quintessential Tufte GDP Example Revisited
If you're even remotely familiar with slopegraphs, then you'll recognize Tufte's classic 1970-1979 GDP chart example (click for larger…
Slopegraphs in Python – The Great Refactor
Despite being on holiday, I had a spare hour to refactor the code (@mrshrbrmstr was joining the 1% in the hotel spa). It's up on github and now sports a spiffy JSON-format config file. You now must execute the slopegraph.py script with a "…
