Realtime Visualizations w/ D3 and Backbone. CodeFlower Source code visualization. This experiment visualizes source repositories using an interactive tree.

CodeFlower Source code visualization

Each disc represents a file, with a radius proportional to the number of lines of code (loc). All rendering is done client-side, in JavaScript. Try hovering on nodes to see the loc number, clicking on directory nodes to fold them, dragging nodes to rearrange the layout, and changing project to see different tree structures. Built with d3.js. Inspired by Code Swarm and Gource.

Purpose Did you ever dive into an existing project and wish you could have a bird's eye view of the whole code? CodeFlowers tries to answer these needs. Usage To create a CodeFlower, include the CodeFlower.js file together with d3.js, just like in this page. Var myFlower = new CodeFlower("#visualization", 300, 200); myflower.update(jsonData); Input data format The jsonData format taken as input to update() is extremely simple. Generating JSON for a project It's easy to generate loc metrics for any project, whatever the language. Licence. Home · metormote/iopctrl Wiki.

Scalable Cubism fetches time series data incrementally: after the initial display, Cubism reduces server load by polling only the most recent values. Effective Cubism also scales in terms of perception: small multiples aligned by time facilitate rapid comparison. Area (120px)7.6 Area (30px)7.6. Gallery · mbostock/d3 Wiki.

Over the last few months, the d3.js Javascript visualisation library has seen widespread use as the powerhouse behind a wide variety of highly effective interactive data visualisations.

From the Sankey diagram we used to visualise horse meat exports in the EU, to Anna Powell Smith’s funnel plots generator, to the New York Times’ 512 Paths to the Whitehouse, d3.js provides a rich framework for developing an increasingly rich panoply of data driven animated graphics. Despite the growing number of books and tutorials that are springing up around the library, such as Data-Driven Documents, Defined on the Data Driven Journalism site, creating even the simplest charts using d3.js out of the box can prove a major challenge to those of us who aren’t fluent in writing Javascript or manipulating the DOM (whatever that means! ;-) Further up the abstraction layer, we have more specialised Javascript libraries that provide support for complex or compound chart types: So – what are you waiting for…?
