Hi everyone,
Has anyone used POV-Ray to create an "Infographic"? These seem to be a very
popular way to deliver top-level analysis in an easy to understand way that
is visually appealing. Some example infographics can be seen here:

http://pinterest.com/pin/136445063682749240/
I guess each creating the infographic involves a certain amount of
styling/branding, but I'm wondering if POV-Ray could be used to create a
template for an infographic - perhaps using a macro that you would pass
various parameters to create different types of charts or maps.
I would be interested to hear people's ideas.
Bye for now

Not sure if this is the same, but I've created scientific images for Wikipedia
using POV-Ray and Geogebra.

Thanks for the info.
I found some of your other graphics on Wikipedia - they're really good!
I particularly like these ones:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RGB_Cube_Show_lowgamma_cutout_b.png
Do you have the source files for these images?
I would be interested to see some more images created by Geogebra
Bye for now

Hi,
last year I created a Povray-based infographic together with a 2D-professional
company for my work.
I'll post the images in the povray.binaries.images newsgroup.
First image shows the povray-part, second the final infographic (without
explanation and company infos - sorry, my company board didn't allow that).
The third image shows some texture detail at full resolution (30.000 pixel
width).

POV-Ray also would be great for any kind of geographical or astronomical
15. April 2013 data visualization!
See you in Khyberspace!

It was a very complex job (in terms of object placement)?
I usually make infographics in Inkscape, but your scene is very readable.

in fact, object (the spheres) placement was done automatically.
There are 94 objects in 8 sectors. The objects symbolize topics. I asked 20
people two questions on each topic. The answers determine sphere size and
distance from the center.
So Povray did the work...

Paolo,
Thanks for the comments so far.
I've used Inkscape a few times. I've created some Lego colouring pages using
Inkscape:

Do you have any example Inkscape files of Infographics you have worked on?

Hallo, Reuben,
I use infographics mostly for lessons related to radiology information
systems. Last works are (experimentally) with a bit of javascript,
thanks to Sozi (http://sozi.baierouge.fr/wiki/en:welcome).
Give me time to translate something in english and I will send you
something.
;-)

I'm not sure if this is relevant to your question, but in this thread Jaap Frank
once did some interesting work with media to illustrate an atom.
