A prototype violin plot visual, showing the distribution of temperature readings over 5 New Zealand regions from 1927 to 2019. This is a computed kernel density estimation (KDE) of 253 thousand data points, but 364 uniqe values. Two measures have been supplied - one counting temperature values and the number of occurrences for each value for spring/summer, represented in the top (or blue) split of the violin - and the second measure is a summary of occurrences of temperature values over autumn and winter.

It's a picture of me, Daniel Marsh-Patrick! I'm in an airport, and a little red in the face, but otherwise fine :)
A partial screenshot of GitHub's repository list for the deneb-viz organization. Two projects are shown, and each has some simple statistics and an activity indicator, shown as a line chart. The bottom entry shows the summary and details for the deneb project, which is the public/open-source repository for the Deneb Power BI custom visual. The activity graph looks busy, until about halfway across the x-axis, where it tapers off and eventually goes to zero. The top entry shows the deneb-2 project, which is currently marked as private. The activity graph for this project ramps up at roughly the same point on the x-axis that the deneb project ramps down. After this ramp up, the level of activity fort he deneb-2 project is roughly consistent to that of the deneb project.

A whiteboard showing a visual representation of an archery range. Lane # is encoded on the x axis, target distance on the y axis. Each target uses shape to represent the type of boss (what stops the arrows) and the image on each point shows the target face (or a compound bow if someone decides they want an easy day ๐Ÿ˜‰). There's also a label for target size under each point. For the geospatial folks, there are also labels representing which side the border hedge is on and where our shooting line is placed. We can

A bunch of tabs from a Power BI workbook. Some of them use Unicode text to appear slightly bolder than others. There aren't many (any?) configuration options for these things, so we make do with what we can :)
An image of an UpSet plot, plotted using the Deneb custom visual in Microsoft Power BI and the Vega-Lite language. Learn more about upset plots at https://upset.app/
A partial shot of the Power BI visualization pane, with a terribly drawn callout to the presence of the new version of the Deneb custom visual in there.
Shows the Deneb visual editor interface inside Microsoft Power BI. On the left is a pane containing the JSON for a Vega-Lite specification. On the top-right is a preview image of a scatter chart of temperature deviation from 1951-1980 baseline over time.On the bottom-right is a data table of some of the data that sits behind the chart.
