Recreating a radial line graph
April 02, 2025This week I recreated a radial line graph from Gazeta Wyborcza on drug use in European cities. Gaby Khazalová and Danuta Pawłowska participated in its creation.

Highlights
The first radial line graph of the challenge and my first recreation of a Polish newspaper. It was a complicated recreation, there was a lot of "this is the first time I've done this" and "this is new to me". Although it was complicated, I'm very happy with the result.
- It was very difficult to design the angles. I had to use Math.cos, Math.sin, and Math.PI to create them and I even had to write some random numbers to get the result I expected (You can find this in the code by searching for a // ???). Did it work? Yes, but without further explanation.
- I had some weeks without recreating a visualization with so many details to create. I'm even going to do some research on the use of opacity in overlapping elements and practice more with the creation of dynamic angles.
