Datawrapper Heat Map #2:

10 Countries Scatter Plot

I tried to play around with colors and lines but when I’d try to change colors in datawrapper it wouldn’t save in the final version. This leads me to my conclusion that Flourish is better for colors and design but Datawrapper to me, is so much simpler and easier to use. Flourish, by any means, would not allow me to add an extra row for the women with no schooling data, even after stepping away and coming back and trying several versions of the scatterplot. Overall, I love Datawrapper a lot more and wish there were more customizing / design options for a basic scatterplot.
