I cut this out of one of the enlarged images.

I just seem toget a lot of empty rectangles. Do I need to enable something to view the figures?
You should be able to see the descriptions, like in the pictures, with any modern web browser. Do you have some particular setting or using a particular web browser?
If you want you can send me a pm with a screen so there may be some clue.

After i made this graph (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/merit-data-visualization-storytelling-full-interactive-data-3312945) where you could see for each section in the forum where the merit were distributed, i decided to do something similar, to show who actually gives most merits for each board and with which frequency.
This combination is a good indication to identify active users in a particular board, which are reading posts and awarding merits.
I compiled a list of the top 30 users for each board of the forum.
Top 30 Merit per board: https://albertoit.github.io/Visualization/MeritTreemap/index.html
Top 30 Transaction Merit per board: https://albertoit.github.io/Visualization/TransactionTreemap/index.html
Instructions on how to use the data:
You can drill down into each board of the forum by clicking on the rectangles and at the same time see who awarded more merits (or awarded merits more often). The size of the rectangles is directly proportional to the number of merits or transactions. To go back to the previous parent board click on the top header.
These tool-graphs could also be useful to a certain extent in identifying/confirming new merit sources, since are highlighting people which are actively awarding merits in a board and possibly (this need to be verified) awarding them to quality posts. This is quite an important aspect, as some person who would actually make a good merit source maybe is simply not interested in assigning merits.
How we could use these information to spot possible merit sources?
We can try for example with the Italian local board, i actually have some knowledge of people posting there and already have an idea of who could be a good candidate:
You can immediately see by the size of the rectangles where most of the merits are awarded, and it seems mostly are flowing under this section:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=28.0
You can also see who awarded the most merits:
We notice Micio(218 Mrt) and redsn0w (90 Mrt), which are already merit sources and Babo (85 Mrt), which is not (there are others perhaps worth looking into it).
Now we can look how many times he awarded merits on the transaction graph:
it says Babo (84 Tx), so he has been giving in average ~1 merit per post, looks good
I invite everyone to play around, have a look into boards you know and see if any name comes up, in particular in the Local one, or simply use the tool to satisfy your curiosity.
