[OC] Heatmaps plotting percentages of peaks for various Italian industries over a century (TidyTuesday)
Tools: RStudio, Quarto, Echarts4R, Inkscape
Tidy Tuesday this week explores Italy's industrial production statistics courtesy of Istat.
After starting with a simple line chart to plot amounts on a timeline, I found the plot a little difficult absorb over the period of a century. I pivoted to the trusty heatmap where I was able to flatten by a dimension, and further simplified the lens by normalising the data to look at each value as a percentage of the variable's peak.
The result is three stacked-and-aligned heatmaps that highlight the impact of the 1943 Allied Invasion on production volume, as well as how some products did not recover back to post-war.
The .qmd file, along with all the tables and scripts are now uploaded to my repo
