Editor’s Note: Data visualization is a powerful method for representing data, but with the wealth of data visualization tools available, getting started on the process can be a daunting task. As foremost experts in data visualization, Jack Dougherty and Ilya Ilyankou review the methodology behind choosing the best tools to tell a data story. We’d love to hear from you about what you think about this piece.
编者注： 数据可视化是表示数据的一种强大方法，但是由于拥有大量可用的数据可视化工具，因此在流程上开始可能是一项艰巨的任务。 作为数据可视化领域的顶级专家，Jack Dougherty和Ilya Ilyankou回顾了选择最佳工具来讲述数据故事的背后方法。 我们很乐意听到您对您对此作品的看法。
Do you feel overwhelmed by the enormous range of data visualization tools? There’s been so many different tools released in recent years that anyone would have a hard time deciding which ones to use. Even if you limit your choices to a dozen or so tools, how do you make wise decisions?
您是否对各种各样的数据可视化工具感到不知所措？ 近年来发布了许多不同的工具，因此任何人都很难决定要使用哪些工具。 即使您将选择限制在十几种工具之内，您如何做出明智的决定？
• Draw and Write Your Data Story reminds us to start with the most important item in your toolkit: your story. Begin by drawing pictures and writing questions or sentences to capture your ideas on paper, and then choose the most appropriate tools to create your vision.
•绘制和编写数据故事提醒我们从工具箱中最重要的项目开始：您的故事。 首先绘制图片并写问题或句子以在纸上捕捉您的想法，然后选择最合适的工具来创建您的愿景。
• Ask Questions When Choosing Tools lists several criteria to consider when making software decisions. Many of us look for free or affordable tools in the perfect sweet spot — easy-to-learn, yet powerful.
•选择工具时提出问题，列出了制定软件决策时要考虑的几个标准。 我们中的许多人都在完美易用的地方寻找免费或高级的工具-易学但功能强大。
绘制和编写您的数据故事 (Draw and Write Your Data Story)
Before you dive deeply into software, think about the most important item in your toolkit: your story. The primary reason we’re designing visualizations is to improve how we communicate our data story to other people, so let’s begin there.
在深入研究软件之前，请考虑一下工具包中最重要的内容：您的故事。 我们设计可视化的主要原因是为了改善我们与他人交流数据故事的方式，因此让我们从这里开始。
Push away the computer and pick up some old-school tools:
推开计算机并使用一些老式工具：
• colored markers or pencils
•彩色记号笔或铅笔
• lots of blank paper
•很多白纸
• your imagination
•您的想象力
First, at the top of the page, write down your data story.
首先，在页面顶部，写下您的数据故事。
• Is it in the form of a question? If so, figure out how to pose the question.
•是问题形式吗？ 如果是这样，请弄清楚如何提出问题。
• Or maybe it’s in the form of an answer to that question? If so, spell out your clearest statement.
•也许是以答案的形式？ 如果是这样，请说出最清楚的陈述。
• If you’re lucky, perhaps you already can envision a full story, with a beginning, middle, and end.
•如果幸运的话，也许您已经可以设想一个完整的故事，包括开头，中间和结尾。
• Whatever form it takes in your head, write out the words that come to mind.
•不管脑海中出现什么形式，都要写下想出的字眼。
Further down the page (or on a separate sheet), draw quick pictures of the visualizations that comes to your mind, even if you don’t yet have any data. No artistic skills are required. Just use your imagination. — Do you envision some type of chart? Sketch a picture. — Or do you imagine some type of map? Show what it might look like. — Will your visualization be interactive? Insert arrows, buttons, whatever.
在页面的更下方(或在另一张纸上)，即使您还没有任何数据，也可以快速绘制一下想像中的可视化图片。 不需要艺术技能。 只是发挥您的想象力。 —您是否设想某种图表？ 草绘图片。 —还是您想象某种地图？ 显示它的外观。 —您的可视化是否具有交互性？ 插入箭头，按钮等。
Finally, share your data story with someone else and talk through your preliminary ideas. Does your sketch and sentences help to convey the broader idea that you’re trying to communicate? If so, this is one good sign that your data story is worth pursuing.
最后，与其他人分享您的数据故事，并讨论您的初步想法。 您的草图和句子是否有助于传达您尝试交流的更广泛的想法？ 如果是这样，这是一个值得您追寻数据故事的好兆头。
选择工具时提问 (Ask Questions When Choosing Tools)
When each of us decides which digital tools best fit our needs, we often face trade-offs. On one hand, many of us prefer easy-to-learn tools, especially those with a drag-and-drop interface, but they often force us to settle for limited options. On the other hand, we also favor powerful tools that allow us to control and customize our work, yet most of these require higher-level coding skills. The goal is to find the best of both worlds: that “sweet spot” where tools are both friendly and flexible.
当我们每个人都决定哪种数字工具最适合我们的需求时，我们经常会面临各种挑战。 一方面，我们中的许多人都喜欢易于学习的工具，尤其是具有拖放界面的工具，但是它们经常迫使我们选择有限的选项。 另一方面，我们也偏爱功能强大的工具，这些工具可让我们控制和自定义工作，但其中大多数都需要更高水平的编码技能。 我们的目标是找到两全其美的方法：工具既友好又灵活的“最佳地点”。
Before testing out new tools, try listing the criteria that guide your decision making process. What are the most important factors that influence whether or not you add another item to your digital toolkit? Here’s the list that came to our minds:
在测试新工具之前，请尝试列出指导您的决策过程的标准。 影响您是否在数字工具包中添加其他项目的最重要因素是什么？ 这是我们想到的清单：
1. Price: Is the tool free, or is there a “freemium” model to pay for more features or higher usage?
1.价格：该工具是免费的，还是有一种“免费增值”模式来支付更多功能或更高使用率的费用？
2. Easy-to-learn: Is the tool relatively simple for new users without coding skills?
2.易于学习：对于没有编码技能的新用户来说，该工具是否相对简单？
3. Power: Does the tool support large amounts of data, and various types of visualizations?
3.功能：该工具是否支持大量数据和各种类型的可视化？
4. Customization: Can I modify details about how my work appears?
4.自定义：我可以修改有关我的作品外观的详细信息吗？
5. Data Migration: Can I easily move my data in and out, in case I switch to a different tool? Hint for historians: Future-proof your digital history projects! Choose tools that allow you to easily export and migrate data to other platforms. Design projects to keep your data separate from its digital presentation.
5.数据迁移：如果我切换到其他工具，是否可以轻松地移入和移出数据？ 给历史学家的提示：面向未来的数字历史项目！ 选择可以轻松导出数据并将其迁移到其他平台的工具。 设计项目，以使您的数据与其数字表示分离。
6. Hosting: Can I decide exactly where my data and visualizations will be stored online?
6.托管：我可以准确确定我的数据和可视化文件将在哪里在线存储吗？
7. Support: Is the tool actively maintained by its creators, and do they answer questions?
7.支持：该工具的创建者是否积极维护该工具，他们是否回答问题？
8. Open Source: Is the tool’s software visible, can it be modified, and redistributed?
8.开源：该工具的软件是否可见，是否可以修改和重新分发？
9. Security: Is the tool and my data protected from malicious hackers and malware?
9.安全性：该工具和我的数据是否受到恶意黑客和恶意软件的保护？
10. Collaborative: Does the tool allow several people to work together on one shared product?
10.协作：该工具是否允许多个人共同开发一个共享产品？
11. Privacy: Under the terms of service, is my data and work private or public?
11.隐私：根据服务条款，我的数据和工作是私人的还是公共的？
12. Error-friendly: When something fails, does the tool point out possible problems and solutions?
12.易于出错：如果出现故障，该工具是否指出可能的问题和解决方案？
13. Cross-platform: Does this tool work across different computer operating systems?
13.跨平台：此工具是否可以在不同的计算机操作系统上运行？
14. Mobile-friendly: Will it correctly display my work on various mobile devices and browsers?
14.适用于移动设备：是否可以在各种移动设备和浏览器上正确显示我的作品？
That’s a long list! But don’t let it overwhelm you. Remember the two most important criteria for the many free tools that are currently available: easy-to-learn and powerful features.
那是一长串！ 但不要让它淹没您。 对于当前可用的许多免费工具，请记住两个最重要的标准：易于学习和功能强大。
