Thanks for the kind feedback Hiral! This was a really fun topic which opened up the opportunity to lean into the theme with the stylized treemap/waffle chart. This visual you see here is static... and that worked great because my goal in this project was to provide a point-in-time explanatory analysis. To create this one I used shapes (circles and squares) in Excel and organized them into the patterns you see presented. Just recently, I revisited this visual and challenged myself to re-create the overlapping look but that would update dynamically based on the selection of the user. For that I used an X,Y scatterplot. I've included details in that project write-up about how I made that work. See my project called "An interactive look at the dramatic increase in LEGOR(R) subthemes form 1990 to 2009" for details on how I did that!
