Every Flourish template is unique and has its own quirks. The amount of data that a template can handle is one of them.
Knowing the limits of each template is useful in situations such as:
- Building a visualization and checking how much data is too much data
- If your visualization is taking a long time to load/crashing
So, here's a rough summary of how much data can some of the Flourish templates handle:
Please consider that these figures are estimates. Depending on each particular case, a template may be able to hold a little bit more or a little bit less data than what this table suggests.
NOTE: Measurements can vary considerably based on the device, browser, network connection, the parent page of the iframe, the type of data of the project and many other factors. It is better to create the visualization first and test it in a context of your choosing.
We will be continuing to update this document with more data limits for each of our templates.
