Protovis composes custom views of data with simple marks such as bars and dots. Unlike low-level graphics libraries that quickly become tedious for visualization, Protovis defines marks through dynamic properties that encode data, allowing inheritance, scales and layouts to simplify construction. Protovis is free and open-source, provided under the BSD License. It uses JavaScript and SVG for web-native visualizations; no plugin required (though you will need a modern web browser)! Although programming experience is helpful, Protovis is mostly declarative and designed to be learned by example.
Protovis is no longer under active development.The final release of Protovis was v3.3.1 (4.7 MB). The Protovis team is now developing a new visualization library, D3.js, with improved support for animation and interaction. This project was led by Mike Bostock and Jeff Heer of the Stanford Visualization Group, with significant help from Vadim Ogievetsky. Updates May 28, 2010 - ZOMG! Getting Started. Introducing SelectorGadget: point and click CSS selectors. JavaScript Reference (beta) DOM Core. This part of the reference documents DOM 1 Core and DOM 2 Core. We describe and give examples for every interface, property and method defined in those specifications, and document their support in modern desktop browsers.
For a basic introduction to the DOM please see What is the DOM? (coming soon!) Generalization, specialization, and inheritance of DOM Interfaces The following diagram shows how DOM interfaces inherit from one another: As you can see, all interfaces which represent actual content in HTML or XML inherit from Node. The Node interface includes methods which apply to all or most types of node, such as appendChild and cloneNode, and properties which are equally generalized, such as firstChild and nodeName. The DOM is designed with this principle of generalization and specialization in mind. Within the Node interface, all interfaces which represent textual content inherit from CharacterData. Note: In many cases JavaScript has more powerful native features Data types in the DOM. SIMILE | Timeline.
