Protovis 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). This project was led by Mike Bostock and Jeff Heer of the Stanford Visualization Group, with significant help from Vadim Ogievetsky. Updates June 28, 2011 - Protovis is no longer under active development. September 17, 2010 - Release 3.3 is available on GitHub. May 28, 2010 - ZOMG! Getting Started

File to Text Usage Command Line on OS X and Linux Download python_tools.zip, extract into a new folder, cd into it and run ./install This will create a set of scripts you can run directly from the command line, like this: html2text | text2people The command above fetches the New York Times front page, extracts a plain text version, and then pulls out likely names. file2text -h ~/scanned_documents/*.jpg > scanned_text.txt This will run OCR on all the JPEG images in that folder (the same command also works on PDF, DOC and XLS files). Commands that take in inputs that aren't natural-language text or html treat their arguments as the strings to process, rather than file names. ip2coordinates "67.169.73.113" If you do want to run one of these commands on a large number of inputs, you can pipe them in from a file on stdin, and each line in the file will be treated as an input: ip2coordinates < someips.txt text2places -h > nytimes_places.csv Command Line on Windows Python return
