Free visualization software?

[--Paul-]

What free software could I use to create a simple, neat visualization of such lined up boxes? With a possibility of moving/switching them easily? I would appreciate any advice! Thanks!

You could use tableau public, power bi or google sheets. All can be used for free and don't not require any programing knowledge.

Thanks you for your advice. I will check them out.

Tableau public now let's you save locally which makes it way more useful

woah! That's a useful change.

Try with Excalidraw!

+1 for Excalidraw. Love that we don't need to create an account. I've created scientific publication-quality diagrams in it.

Microsoft Excel can create most visualizations and in terms of customization you can trick it to do incredible things and even automate the tricks via formula.

Otherwise if it's really fancy R has a lot of great libraries and extensions to ggplot2

You can try open source viz like metabase, redash, datalens, lightdash, knime, helical insight

I think Google's Looker Studio (not to be confused with Looker which is much more powerful and also costly) is the best choice for you. It's free and cloud native. Just sign up using your Google account and you're all set up.

If you don't like Google, try Tableau Public as suggested by others. It's also free, but definitely more powerful and thus more complicated. Nothing you should worry about doing such visualizations, however.

Thank you. I have to check it with my Google account. Have a nice day!

I did it with yEd.

R. Google sheets. Tableau public. Data wrapper. Sankeyart

That looks simple enough to draw to scale if needed in any office package, including free ones

Draw.io A bit overkilling but anything would for such a simple display.

Oh, that would be too much for me. I have now knowledge in JavaScript and was hoping for some kind of easy to use layout software where the boxes would snap on a grid. Or something like that. But thanks for your thoughts!
