HeliosJS by entrendipity HeliosJS is an in-memory graph database for modern browsers. It employs a non-blocking asynchronous architecture through the use of Promises and Web Workers, and therefore is only available in browsers that support Web Workers. This enables HeliosJS to download and process large data sets without blocking the UI. In order to traverse the graph, HeliosJS uses a Gremlin inspired graph traversal language to query, analyze and manipulate the graph. Gremlin is an open source project maintained by TinkerPop . Getting Started Copy the helios directory to your project's root directory. N.B. Now create a graph database and load some data. var g = new Helios.GraphDatabase(); g.loadGraphSON(' Then travese the graph. Lets break this down. The next step loads data into the database using the loadGraphSON function. Once the data is loaded we travese the graph. Documentation Conventions Function signatures Closures top
d3.js Woopra - Real Time Web Analytics, Live Chat, and Web Statistics 38 Tools For Beautiful Data Visualisations | Elisa DBI As we enter the Big Data era, it becomes more important to properly expand our capacity to process information for analysis and communication purposes. In a business context, this is evident as good visualisation techniques can support statistical treatment of data, or even become an analysis technique. But also, can be used as a communication tool to report insights that inform decisions. Today there are plenty of tools out there that can be used to improve your data visualisation efforts at every level. Javascript Libraries Circular Hierarchy – D3.js Python Libraries Kartograph.py – Mapsigraph – Node-link, treesMatplotlib – Most types of statistical plotsPycha – Pie chart, bar chart, area chartNetworkX – Node-link Java / PHP Prefuse – Area chart, Time series, node-link, tree, timeline, steam graph, radial hierarchyJpGraph – Line plot, scatter plot, bar chart, bubble chart, contours chart, field chart, splines, pie chart, boxplot, polar plot, radial chart, maps Web Applications
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

25+ Useful Infographics for Web Designers Infographics can be a great way to quickly reference information. Instead of pouring over figures and long reports to decipher data, an infographic can immediately make apparent exactly what a dataset actually means. Below are more than 25 infographics that can be useful to web designers. Some are incredibly practical, some provide information that might be of interest to designers and some just present data that might be interesting to those who design websites all day. If you know of any good ones that we may have missed, please add them in the comments section below. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. Datavisualization.ch Selected Tools Chartist - Simple responsive charts You may think that this is just yet an other charting library. But Chartist.js is the product of a community that was disappointed about the abilities provided by other charting libraries. Of course there are hundreds of other great charting libraries but after using them there were always tweaks you would have wished for that were not included. Highly customizable responsive charts Facts about Chartist The following facts should give you an overview why to choose Chartists as your front-end chart generator: Simple handling while using convention over configurationGreat flexibility while using clear separation of concerns (Style with CSS & control with JS)Usage of SVG (Yes! These projects and wrapper libraries are known to me right now that either use Chartist.js or wrap them into a library for usage in a framework. Cross-browser support Note that CSS3 animations on SVG CSS attributes are not supported on all browsers and the appearance may vary.
