Visual on use

I find this https://x.com/atlaslivingaust/status/1831818346456646105 very telling and illustrative - would it work as a standard visual for the country report, if there is demand and if this is not too heavy?

I have tried generating it for repatriation records at some point. There is a lot of connections. So many that you cannot see anything. At least if you try to list all countries and all their connections. So I would think you need to cap connections or number of countries you show at the same time. showing 50.000 connections at the same time doesn't work well.

That chart you link to might be about literature. That i haven't tried.

All relations. The majority just disappear because the lines are so thin. It also performs quite bad in a browser.

I like them all, but too jet lagged now to figure out the story to each. Did not mean to trigger major work - was only parking through an Idea category in case someone finds it useful. Will open again!

If the sticks are too many / too dense, there may be other way to visualize. I like dynamic networks by Elsevier Pure - can demon in the office through my Helsinki account, and of course Arturo Arino and Rod Page will have more visualization ideas for these - if it is decided these are needed.

Did not mean to trigger major work

It wasn't a lot of word since I had implemented it all already. I just haven't exposed it anywhere as I do not think it is a valuable representation compared to a simple bar chart. But it seems like the obvious use of that chart type so I implemented it long ago as a test. Simply becase thos charts look nice and I wanted an nice way to tell the repatriation story. In the end I just discarded the idea. But that might just be a personal preference.
