Visualization: Visually Rich Rows

[alsargent]

Here's a beautiful dashboard from https://www.covidexitstrategy.org/:

This is a nice example what I call "Visually Rich Rows" or just "rich rows" for short. It'd be great if we could use these ideas to augment our row visualization element.

Breaking this down column-by-column, left-to-right, here are the visual elements that would be good to see:

#1: Conditionally change text and background color based on some other column.

Note that California is red background with white text. Colorado is orange background with black text. Both of these are based on some other column.

#2: Conditionally append different suffixes, based on a cell's value.

Here we have "9% Increasing" and "-47% Decreasing".

#3: Alternate row colors subtly to help the user's eye stay in a single row as they scan across page.

#4: Mini line charts for each row, to see trends.

#5: Mini bar gauges, to see values.

#6: Conditionally color mini bar gauges, based on cell value.

Here we see that 29 colors the bar gauge green, 72 colors it orange, and 146 colors it red.
