I would like to create a pure D3 or Plot visualisation which shows how funds have been transferred between a set of bank accounts.
Each transaction includes the source, destination, date and amount. The visualisation should show the total balance across all accounts on any give date. It should also show the source and destination of each transaction.
Could anyone suggest some examples as a starting point please?
What’s the goal? Fraud detection or macro trends? Mike has the good network macro visualization. The volume of transactions is important.
The goal is to visualise an individual’s Net Worth over a period of time. The person will have multiple bank accounts and assets. During the time period covered by the plot, some accounts / assets will be created and some will be destroyed.
The plot should also show the transactions between accounts and the instantaneous debit from one account and credit into another. Somehow, I would like to see the total Net Worth at any instant.
A multi-series 3d bar-chart would suffice perhaps. When a funds transfer is made between accounts, a bar (or column, if 3d) would shorten and the corresponding column in another series would grow. I would need some sort of labelled links between columns to show the amount of funds transferred.
Or perhaps a stacked two dimensional area chart, with each account / asset having it’s own vertical position and colour. Again, I would like labels somehow, to show the details of a transaction.
Thank you for your interest.
Net assets over time seems like a stacked bar chart coz you want the totals (total net worth) segmented by accounts (colors)
The transfers almost seem sankey like but where the x axis is time?
So you sorta want to combine those two things.
You can label with with a “tip” in Plot. Tip mark | Plot
In my own work when I want to mix things together I use Robocoop, I load the canonical examples via an imports, and then give the AI the instructions to draw inspiration from the examples, there is a specific video on remixing an arc diagram: ( Roboco-op notebook coding assistent - #6 by tomlarkworthy )
I’m going to try both types of diagrams. Thank you. I like the idea of a Sankey but perhaps the x-axis (time) will need to be non-linear.
I have a collection of various Sankey Visualization techniques including a ‘Quick Start(s)’ that allow you to plug in your own data.
