Vizible Difference

Peter Karpov created quite a few interesting math graphs using Mathematica. One of them caught my attention because I think it can be done in Tableau: Polygon circumscribing from triangle to square to many equal-sided polygons.

Here I created it in tableau.

The data set is the same 2-row seed table. With parameters, we can create as many nesting layers of n-gons (n=3,4,5,...) as we wish, because we can create data using data densification on the fly. The graph above is created using polygon as data marks.

Below are a few renditions of the same graph. Click here to access to viz.

The purpose here is purely for the pleasure of visualizing this bipartite graph in Tableau, because of its mesmerizing optic effect, as well as for the little exercises of building the logic behind it.

As in what I did in creating math vizzies, I try to use the minimum data set, because the rest of data points can be all derived from it based on the math relationships between points. This bipartite viz is again based on the minimum data set of two rows.
