Please don’t actually use these 5,6,7-way Venn diagrams for anything practical, they’re virtually useless and communicate nothing.
Thanks, I was just about to do that!

#12Really nice theoretical exercise!
For practical visualization, an UpSet plot is a great option: https://upset.app/

Same for iOS.

Technically a Venn diagram's entire point is to visualize all possible set relations between N sets. Their "practical" use is explicitly visualizing this.
In popular terminology they are very often confused with Euler Diagrams [0] which represent meaningful relations in sets but not all possible. You shouldn't create Euler Diagrams this complex, but the raison d'etre of Venn diagrams is to visualize the complex nature of set relations.

Still my favorite Venn.
I was in a genetics graduate program when this was published, and this spread like wildfire.

Required attribution notice too big. Can’t see myself using it.

#18I think this 6 set Venn Diagram is nice because I made it. :)

#19Can this be configurable? Like 8..9..etc

#20I’m wondering what’s the proper way to draw Venn diagrams. I’ve seen that Graphviz has a “nice to have” mention about them, and there are a few simple JS libraries - mostly for two sets. Here’s also my own attempt using an LLM [1]. But maybe someone knows a more general or robust solution - or a better way to achieve this? In the future, I’d like to be able, for example, to find the intersection between two Venn diag…
The nVennR library is pretty robust for multiple sets
