NetCharts Pro

NetCharts Pro is the solution for Java developers to deliver dynamic, interactive charts and graphs within applications, via web-browsers, or within internet enabled devices.

NetCharts Pro provides Java developers can create HTML5 compliant web applications today. With support for SVG included in Pro v7.0, users can deploy rich-client, chart enabled applications in HTML5 compliant browsers without the need for a third party plug-in. Plus, to support browsers that may not be HTML5 compliant, NetCharts Pro v7.0 can automatically translate SVG into Flash within the browser.

Key Features
  • Comprehensive graphing library with a robust Java API
  • Thousands of charts and styles, and hundreds of pre-built chart templates
  • Unparalleled flexibility to create minimally styled or highly styled charts
  • Drill-down, roll-over, pop-ups, zooming, scrolling, rotation, and build animations
  • Highlights, spotlights, shadows, and corner styles
  • Anti-aliasing, automatic text wrapping
  • Internationalization (i18n) support to render any language, date, time or currency
  • Section 508 compliance support
  • Supports Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.6+
  • Supports any web application language (i.e., ASP, .NET, Java, PHP, PERL, or Cold Fusion) Java Web frameworks (Struts, JSF, Servlets, JSPs) desktop SWING applications, and mobile apps
  • Support for SVG allows rich-client, chart enabled applications to run in HTML 5 compliant browsers
  • Automatically translate SVG into Flash within the browser (for browsers that may not yet be HTML 5 compliant)
  • Can be used with NetCharts Designer to create chart templates
Specifications
  • Operating Systems: Any Java 1.6+ compatible operating system

Invisible Cities

Invisible Cities maps information from one realm - online social networks - to another: an immersive, three dimensional space. In doing so, the piece creates a parallel experience to the physical urban environment. The interplay between the aggregate and the real-time recreates the kind of dynamics present within the physical world, where the city is both a vessel for and a product of human activity. It is ultimately a parallel city of intersections, discovery, and memory, and a medium for experiencing the physical environment anew.

By revealing the social networks present within the urban environment, Invisible Cities describes a new kind of city—a city of the mind. It displays geocoded activity from online services such as Twitter and Flickr, both in real-time and in aggregate.

Revisit: Real-time Interactive Twitter Visualization

Revisit is a real-time visualization of the latest twitter messages (tweets) around a specific topic. Use it create your own twitter wall at a conference or an ambient display at your company or whatever other idea you come up with. In contrast to other twitterwalls, it provides a sense of the temporal dynamics in the twitter stream, and emphasizes the conversational threads established by retweets and @replies.

CodeCity: Immersive Software Visualization

CodeCity is an integrated environment for software analysis, in which software systems are visualized as interactive, navigable 3D cities. The classes are represented as buildings in the city, while the packages are depicted as the districts in which the buildings reside. The visible properties of the city artifacts depict a set of chosen software metrics, as in the polymetric views of CodeCrawler.

CodeCity comes as a self-contained, ready-to-run application. It is available for Mac OS X and Windows. It also added a CodeCity image-only for other operating systems such as Linux (you need to install VisualWorks on your system before running CodeCity)

Great visualization tool for understanding code issues.

Developer: Richard Wettel

Cart: Computer software for making cartograms

Cart is a computer software  for creating density-equalizing maps or "cartograms" using the technique described in the recent paper Diffusion-based method for producing density equalizing maps.

Cart is an open source program. If you wish to run the complete program "cart" to make cartograms from your own data, you can compile the source code as provided. For this you'll need a C compiler, such as Visual C++ or GCC.

Mondrian

Mondrian is a general purpose statistical data-visualization system. It features outstanding visualization techniques for data of almost any kind, and has its particular strength compared to other tools when working with Categorical Data, Geographical Data and LARGE Data.

All plots in Mondrian are fully linked, and offer various interactions and queries. Any case selected in a plot in Mondrian is highlighted in all other plots.

Currently implemented plots comprise Mosaic Plot, Scatterplots and SPLOM, Maps, Barcharts, Histograms, Missing Value Plot, Parallel Coordinates/Boxplots and  Boxplots y by x.

Mondrian works with data in standard tab-delimited or comma-separated ASCII files and can load data from R workspaces. There is basic support for working directly on data in Databases (please contact me for further info).

Mondrian is written in JAVA and is distributed as native application (wrapper) for MacOS X and Windows. Linux users need to start the jar-file.

The latest version can be downloaded here.

Veusz

Veusz is a GUI scientific plotting and graphing package. It is designed to produce publication-ready Postscript or PDF output. SVG, EMF and bitmap formats export are also supported. The program runs under Unix/Linux, Windows or Mac OS X, and binaries are provided. Data can be read from text, CSV or FITS files, and data can be manipulated or examined from within the application.

In Veusz plots are created by building up plotting widgets with a consistent object-based interface. The program also provides a command line and scripting interface (based on Python) to its plotting facilities. It can also act as a Python plotting module.

Veusz is written in Python. Its user interface uses PyQt (Wiki) and Numpy is used to manipulate data.

Veusz is Free Software and is licenced under the GPL (version 2 or greater)

Gephi

via http://gephi.org/

Gephi is an open-source software for graph and network analysis. It uses a 3D render engine to display large graphs in real-time and to speed up the exploration. Gephi combines built-in functionalities and flexible architecture to:

  • explore
  • analyze
  • spatialize
  • filter
  • cluterize
  • manipulate

export all types of networks.

Gephi is based on a visualize-and-manipulate paradigm which allow any user to discover networks and data properties. Moreover, it is designed to follow the chain of a case study, from data file to nice printable maps. Gephi is a free/libre software distributed under the GPL 3 ("GNU General Public License"). Runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. Gephi is open-source and free.
