[Yulwww] Data visualization at its best

[Stefan Kramer]

A truly impressive example of data visualization (this is from last 
year, apologies if you have already seen it):

http://tools.google.com/gapminder/

Notice how many possible dimensions of a chart are utilized here: X 
and Y axis, of course, for which one can independently choose 
variables to display; but also data points' size (forming "bubbles"), 
color, and movement over time -- all user-controllable!  Note also 
the "Map" tab, next to the default "Chart" tab.
