This is an excellent way to represent rights in individual states (along with regions) as this saves a lot of space and each state is depicted in the same chart. The placement of legend in the interior of the chart is also strategic as the traditional legend space is used for highlighting of rights of individual state as selected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The second thing I like about the visualization is the coverage of various topics and simple representation of the \u201cMaximum\u201d, \u201cMinimum\u201d, \u201cProhibited\u201d, \u201cNo law or unclear\u201d. This visualization makes use of different colors\/patterns to represent and hence does not require more than one chart to represent different states.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The chart is also not over crowded and the reader not feel overwhelmed by the information. Hence even though the information is represented in one chart, utilization of concentric circle makes the representation of gay rights across 50 states for \u00a0seven different attributes simple yet intuitive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Source &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/interactive\/2012\/may\/08\/gay-rights-united-states\">Gay rights in the US, state by state<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The visualization of gay rights in the US is definitely an exceptional work.
