I love data visualization and have spent a lot of time looking at charts across different vendors, BI tools, and libraries. One thing that keeps coming up for me is how animations are handled. There’s a wide range of approaches. Some charts don’t animate at all, some do it poorly, and a few get it right. The difference isn’t just aesthetic.
