Sharing Many Eyes visualizations with others

ManyEyes offers a number of different ways of sharing visualizations, from live embedding in your web page or blog to a simple e-mail link. Click the 'share this' icon beneath the visualization you want to share and choose the option that suits you best from the popup window.

Embed a live visualization

To embed an interactive version of the visualization on your site or blog, copy the HTML code from the gray box and paste it into your site or blog's HTML code. You can set the display size of the embedded visualization by selecting one of the radio buttons. The small visualization will look like this. It will initially show a static screenshot of the visualization, but switch to an interactive visualization when clicked.


<- I'm live! Click me!

A large visualization behaves similarly but takes up the entire page width. Note that more user interface elements become visible when you increase the size of the visualization. In general, if you want viewers to interact intensively with the visualization, you might want to consider embedding a larger visualization.



You can also embed a custom-sized visualization by modifying the 'width' and 'height' paramters of the javascript fragement. So pasting this HTML fragment


<script type='text/javascript' src='http://vis.cambridge.ibm.com/manyeyes-edge/api/v1/snapshot/89a1c8b712fd775e0112fd87da8c0025.js?width=200&height=150'></script>


will embed this tiny visualization. Tiny visualizations hide much of their user interface but are still interactive.

Embed a static screenshot

To embed a small static screenshot of the visualization, copy and paste the HTML code in your website or blog. The size of the image is currently fixed at 200 x 150 pixels; it will link to the actual visualization on Many Eyes.

Email a link

To e-mail somebody a link to this visualization, click the e-mail link and Many Eyes will auto-create a message in your default e-mail program. You will need to add the recipient, and you can add a personal message.
