Visualisation not visible with many bibtex entries

[robstewart57]

Hi,

This is great software, thanks for sharing!

I'm adopting it for a research group. There are 457 entries in the bibtex file for all publications within the group. Here is the bibtex file:

http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~dsg/dblp2bibtex/dsg-publications.bib

The bib-publication-list visualisation isn't visible for this bibtex file:

http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~dsg/wp/?page_id=1278

If I zoom into the web page, I can faintly see a few colours in the visualisation, though the colours aren't clear and the bars for book/journal/article/ etc.. are very thin.

Is there anything I can do, to make the visualisation: the colours, and distinguishing the types of publications, clear without zooming into the visualisation?

Thanks!

This should now be fixed. Let me know if you still have the issue.

@vkaravir Great, thanks!

The solid bars were a very nice change, thank you! One thing I added was displaying the total count below year:

It's a little hacky, but here's the diff in case it is of interest:
