Bar chart of passing yards per player (best displayed as a horizontal bar chart), with conference mapped to color R image Tableau makes creating charts super easy ... if you know the trick ... dragging a field over the color is amazing!

Scatterplot of 2 interesting variables, with conference mapped to color R image Horizzontal and vertical bar charts ... no problem just drag over row or column to switch.

One other interesting graph that uses a derived variable R image Creating derived fields is super easy ... just click to add and define ... simple.

Comments on Tableau

Super powerful
Automatically adds labels and axis titles
Can be super frustrating if you do not know the trick to accomplish what you want

Things learned from the D3 tutorial

Tutorial is a bit cumbersome to follow
D3 can do some cool stuff, but it is cumbersome to setup
I would not recommend using D3
