Axis= number of reactors, legend= year

X= country. Y= total net electrical capacity. I chose for this specific visualization because it provides the most clarity on the biggest numbers.
2b)

- There appear to be no real problems with the charts on smartphone mode.
- It is really easy to change the colors with all tools actually. Truthfully, all these programs work really straight-forwardly. I did not really need any explanation, it all showed itself.
- I thought the text/label work worked the easiest for the first tool, inform. There were just barely any steps to editing these elements.
-I could make all the changes I needed to for these assignment in my opinion. I am however not sure whether the same statement would be applicable in case of more complicated data visualisations.
-The accessibility was annoying for Flourish, in my opinion. Further than that however I do not really have any remarks.

I have to admit that I am not the strongest with these data visualisations. I personally believe there are no problems with the mobile preview, you can see al the graphs and still interact with them where possible. However, I do realise there could be more tools as to make the phone version of this web page easier to read. In addition, I do believe there could be more additions to these visualisations, such as more accompanying text or a few different visualisations in one (for example a zoom in visualisation of one of the regions in the maps, but within the same map visualisation). I believe a lot more could be done, but these programs were quite limited in allowing you to do so.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS ASSIGNMENT:
I have contacted helena about this before, but just to inform you: a few of these programs did not work on my laptop. Flourish especially, become impossible to work with (I really tried.). I received help from a classmate for a few of the first visualisations because of this, but I could not finish 2c because of this as well. I have however witnessed and practiced the steps on flourish, I can assure you, and, as you can see, completed all other exercises (when I had another laptop available, that helped ;) ).
