Awesome data vis! Any hints re: how the #dynamicVoronoi diagram is implemented? Interested to see other types of #timeseriesdata applied.

Voronoi are great. Would guess they used D3, has a built-in function for making transition effects like this one

I wish this showed how much global GDP has increased in that time as well. The pie chart makes it look like a zero-sum game. It's not.
-
I was thinking the same, it should grow - it is implying zero sum game which is misleading to some extend.
-
It is not implying this. You are misreading it.
-
I know it is showing gdp relative as share of total gdp, but the visual impression is some get smaller when others larger.
-
In relative terms, some are actually getting smaller than others. This is what this depicts. It is not a flaw, it is the point.
-
I know, but depicting it relatively gives a visual impression of zero sum game.
-
I'll agree with you, reluctantly! The graph, though, is not an impressionist piece of art. Hugging gives the visual impression of wrestling!

Where is the "other" continent? How do I get there?

The Antarctic economy is just amazing! Hardworking penguins.

Wonderful! I can only imagine how exciting this would be for 2000 years ^^

The series does not imply a "fixed total" as many suggest. It is a series of points on time, each of which is represented as 100%.
-
Yes. The size of the global economy is fixed, in relative terms, it will never exceed 100%.

USA and Europe is getting smaller and Asia is growing rapidly. Start of a new world order? Will Europe grow stronger? Will USA drop more?

Wow, look at what China did to Japan... since 1995 in 20 years.
-
Nothing. China did nothing to Japan.
-
It looks as if they took a lot of Japan's manufacturing and GDP, there is a direct correlation there. India also grew significantly & Brazil
-
Nope. As someone else noted, this chart only shows relative growth of individual companies. In reality, the whole chart should be growing.
-
Japan's economy was still growing, it's just that China was in a prolonged boom as it threw off Communism, and growing faster as a result.
