Statistics Visualization in News Media and Education

Abstract: This thesis work was done at NComVA AB (Norrköping Communicative Visual Analytics) a spin-off company from the Norrköping Visualization Centre at Linköping University. It aims at developing a client-side web application for creating dynamic reports that uses Vislets for storytelling. A WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) page editor that could use Vislets generated by the Statistics Publisher to create dynamic reports is implemented. The focus of the application is allowing the generation of dynamic reports in HTML without requiring any knowledge of HTML. The implemented editor is a client-side web application written in JavaScript using the jQuery library.
