I'm looking for suggestions for data visualisation.

Nothing sophisticated but I've not found anything uncomplicated yet.

I need to plot a few time series which in itself is not very complex.

However, I would like to annotate the graph to indicate various events, e.g. with vertical bars from points to the x-axis, and the duration is going to be fairly long. Also, I'd like to both get an overview and look at details.

I've used gnuplot for a bunch of things but never got good results for cases like this, and I don't know how to do annotations to plot events.

So.. any ideas?

For My 26th Sketch of Mathober2025 (curated by @fractalkitty ) , MetaLegendre is coded with #SonicPi & #Desmos. For the 11th Prompt of Orthogonal Polynomial, uses a desmos sketch that half of the Legendre Polynomials are in 2D and the other half are in 3D. For the 27th Prompt of Bidiminished, the sound is control by the volume of a Metabidiminished Icosahedron.

The Heading Problem - looking at how "nested heading levels" which aren't explicitly closed have a dangling-else problem.

More interestingly, I was gnuplotting the "height" of different #lisp forms which was pretty cool. Some notes on #emacs #orgmode #graphing .

Hey everyone. I jammed some #declarative #lazyEvaluation #engineering #programming to tie into the climate segment of the live show in TWO hours.

Interesting declarative exploratory programming and super simple gnuplotting if I do say so.

But I basically ran out of time to make a good graph with daily temperature max/min/avg from about 1920-2020 in some weather stations in New Zealand. Any ideas??? Clock is ticking

I don't know why it was so complicated. Not enough coffee today? I could have done literally anything else. At least the separately drawn coarse hulls of the ellipses look oddly charming?

Please tell me all the things I have done wrong ;p

At least I noticed and put a bandaid on floats in my gnuplotting.
