Schemaball is a flexible schema visualizer for SQL databases. The purpose of Schemaball is to help visualize the relationships between tables. Tables are related by foreign keys, which are fields which store the value of a record field from another table. Foreign keys create a lookup relationship between two tables. Large schemas can have hundreds of tables and table relationships. Figure | A MySQL schema of our sequencing LIMS database. Schemaball produces images called schema balls. Schemaball is free software, licensed under GPL. I am not longer actively working on Schemaball. Schemaball was published in SysAdmin Magazine (Krzywinski, M. I've since been using the circular composition form in my Circos project, which applies this layout to visualizing genomes (Circos is particularly popular in the field of comparative genomes, in which relationships between two or more genomes are analyzed and displayed). Ensembl balls!

A Technique for Drawing Directed Graphs BibTeX @ARTICLE{Gansner93atechnique, author = {Emden R. Gansner and Eleftherios Koutsofios and Stephen C. Years of Citing Articles Bookmark OpenURL Abstract We describe a four-pass algorithm for drawing directed graphs. Citations Model Created to Map Energy Use in NYC Buildings | The Fu Foundation School of Engineering & Applied Science - Columbia University Cities across the globe are trying to develop plans to cut down their energy consumption and lower their carbon footprint by reducing the associated greenhouse gas emissions. While initial efforts have focused on individual buildings by incorporating more energy efficient lighting, windows, and building systems, deeper reductions will call for changes beyond individual buildings, requiring a rethinking of how future infrastructure and energy policies should evolve. A new study by Columbia Engineering School will help urban planners, policy makers, and engineers understand the local dynamics of building energy use in New York City—where over two-thirds of the energy consumption is from buildings—and help jumpstart the exchange of ideas. “The lack of information about building energy use is staggering,” said the study’s lead author Bianca Howard, a Ph.D. student in mechanical engineering at Columbia Engineering. “This is a critical issue,” said Modi.

The heat map of England | News Talk about heat maps, and most people will assume you're referring to a map with colours used to represent intensity of something like poverty or crime. This new map - published his morning by the Department for Energy and Climate Change - is much more literal than that. It really is a heat map. Created by the Centre for Sustainable Energy, it mashes together several very detailed datasets to show heat use at building level. It has a pretty specific purpose - local authorities have been mapping heat use to work out which areas would be suitable for local heat networks. Individual heat generation, through boilers, is responsible for the bulk of residential carbon emissions, so know where the densest areas are is useful. But it has a wider interest too - by merging the locations of every publicly-owned building, and heat use at a really local level, the maps give us a view of the whole country never seen before.

LOTR Timeline Graph The ever-hilarious xkcd featured a comic which was very much a visualization. It was a chart showing the interactions between characters from a handful of movies. The comic was the kick I needed to do a quick experiment with timeline-based graph visualizations. Here's the result. It's a bit of a mess, but what I've done is synchronize three components: a slider, the original comic from xkcd, and the graph visualization. You can use the slider grip or the buttons to move through the story. As time passes (or unpasses), the graph automatically shifts to reflect the data for the current time step. There's a lot more work that could be done to make the changes more obvious and less disorienting. ".. and you add places as they appear in groups .. geography reversed" I had a quick back and forth with Dr. The comic's visualization was portraying character interactions but since they didn't have phones in middle earth, it wasn't too hard to associate these interactions with locations.

Kodu Kodu is a new visual programming language made specifically for creating games. It is designed to be accessible for children and enjoyable for anyone. The programming environment runs on the Xbox, allowing rapid design iteration using only a game controller for input. Programming as a Creative Medium The core of the Kodu project is the programming user interface. The Kodu language is designed specifically for game development and provides specialized primitives derived from gaming scenarios. Key Features Kodu provides an end-to-end creative environment for designing, building, and playing your own new games. High-level language incorporates real-world primitives: collision, color, visionUses Xbox 360 Game Controller for input — no keyboard requiredRuns on XBox 360 and PCInteractive terrain editorBridge and path builderTerrain editor - create worlds of arbitrary shape and size20 different characters with different abilities

Flare | Data Visualization for the Web Network Visualization Immersion by the MIT Media Lab is a view into your inbox that shows who you interact with via email over the years. Immersion is an invitation to dive into the history of your email life in a platform that offers you the safety of knowing that you can always delete your data.Just like a cubist painting, Immersion presents users with a number of different perspectives of their email data. It provides a tool for self-reflection at a time where the zeitgeist is one of self-promotion. It provides an artistic representation that exists only in the presence of the visitor. It helps explore privacy by showing users data that they have already shared with others. Finally, it presents users wanting to be more strategic with their professional interactions, with a map to plan more effectively who they connect with. The base view is a network diagram where each node represents someone you've exchanged email with.

Network Visualization While we're on the topic of academic papers and how they're linked, Johan Bollen et. al used clickstream data to draw detailed maps of science, from the point of view of those actually reading the papers. That is, instead of relying on citations, they used log data on how readers request papers, in the form of a billion user interactions on various web portals. Maps of science derived from citation data visualize the relationships among scholarly publications or disciplines. They are valuable instruments for exploring the structure and evolution of scholarly activity. Cross-fertilization. Each circle represents a journal and edges represent connections between journals, according to Johan Bollen et. al's clickstream model. So you have most of the engineering and physical sciences on the perimeter, medical-related areas to the left, and liberal arts is that middle cluster. [PLoS ONE | Thanks, @drewconway]
