Move out of iframe to embed visualization?

[clemsos]

Currently we are using an iframe

https://github.com/theatlasofdata/theatlasofdata.earth/blob/c8e01d13f66240c4b46f9f7af93e4554e11661e4/_layouts/post.html#L20

Will it be better to directly embed the svg?

@MAKIO135 ideas?

Will it be better to directly embed the svg?

Don't think so: it would need to generate the svg first, meaning loading the the viz & rendering it in a separate context to avoid dependencies version problems, and that would make the viz less interactive (no more JS events)

True. I was asking because we have very few control about how things shows up in an iframe VS an embed viz in the page.

Maybe we need a viz.html template where we have a bunch of defined variables (like width, height, etc) so we can have proper support for mobile (#39) as well as coherent color schemes and VI across the different viz (see atlasofdata/visual-identity#2).

For now, let's archive all viz in repo. No 3rd part, iframe or other unreliable solutions
