I've been toying with the idea of using "popups" for more detailed graphs, and just so happen to have an election example: http://robslink.com/SAS/democd9/elect08b.htm You can either look at the tree-map, or scroll down to the traditional US map. When you mouse over the states, you'll get a popup showing that state shaded by county, showing how each county voted. At first I was going to include the popup map *and* more graphs & info, but when the popup was too big it kinda got in the way (I'm not sure what's the "optimum" amount of info to show in the popup). It'll probably work best if you use Internet Explorer, and if you have popups disabled you might have to hold down the Ctrl+ key the first time you mouse over a state, to allow the popups. Of course, I wouldn't really call mine a "dashboard", but rather just an election map :) Here's a link to some info about the plot, and the SAS code, if you're interested: http://robslink.com/SAS/democd9/elect08_info.htm http://robslink.com/SAS/democd9/elect08b.sas Hmm … interesting idea.
