“My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant.”
The Little Prince, Chapter 1 - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Drawing Number One
Inspired by the Little Prince and in honor of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry 110th birthday, we are dedicating this blog post to his timeless masterpiece The Little Prince.
The Little Prince starts with a picture titled “Drawing Number One”, which grown-ups typically interpret as a hat, but only the acute eye of a child can reveal is actually a snake digesting an elephant. Well, unfortunately we were those kids who just saw it as a sum of two Gaussians.

Really like the chart new features :) . I like the fact that you compose visualizations. I implemented this in the JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit (http://thejit.org) some time ago and got some nice visualizations. Keep up the good work!
