For the 1 February issue of Nature magazine, I wrote a Toolbox article on interactive figures. Unlike static PDFs or JPEGs, these figures allow users to explore the underlying data and code used to create them, for instance to zoom in on a crowded region of interest, or to probe the robustness of a computational model.
It’s an exceptionally broad and growing field of tech development, and my article name-checks more than a dozen tools. Inevitably, omissions were made, one of which was pointed out within hours of the article going live.
