Heatmap maker

Put many countries and a long window into one frame: read a row for one country's history, or a column for one year across every country.

Open the heatmap example

Population growth in Bulgaria against the other 26 EU members, 1990 to 2025.

What you get

Five classes, named cuts
GeoLens sorts the values into five classes on round breaks and names every cut in the key.
Ranked rows
Rank the rows high first or low first, so similar countries sit together and bands of colour form.
Figures in the cells
Where a cell has room, it prints its figure.
Your colours
Pick the ramp, break it on a log scale for values that span orders of magnitude, or reverse it.

Questions

What do I get from the heatmap maker?

A grid of countries by year, coloured from the built-in data, with a key that names every cut and the source printed under it.

When is a heatmap better than a line chart?

When there are too many countries for lines to stay apart: a row per country keeps each history readable, and the colour shows the pattern across all of them.
