See Demo → Built on d3.js It's all based on d3 underneath, so graphs are drawn with standard SVG and styled with CSS. Open Source Rickshaw is free and open source, available under the MIT license. Getting Started Here's a minimal but complete working example. Area Graphs Lines Bars Scatterplot Interactive Legend Add a basic legend: Add functionality to toggle series' visibility on and off: Highlight each series on hover within the legend: Add drag-and-drop functionality to re-order the stack (requires jQueryUI): Interactive Hover Details Show the series value and formatted date and time on hover: Specify formatting callbacks to customize output: See the custom formatter and subclass examples for more.

Les Data en forme
Cette semaine la veille des journalistes de données d'OWNI vous propose de programmer le futur, d'analyser les sentiments des candidats à la présidentielle et de découvrir enfin qui dirige le monde. Parce qu'on a beau respirer du datajournalism à chaque seconde, on reste des êtres humains. Finalement. Au cours de notre veille de la semaine, nous sommes tombés sur cette fenêtre. Le projet tient ses promesses : “The Country Comparator” est la nouvelle réalisation d’Anthony Veyssiere, l’un des papas bien inspirés de Retwith 2012, visualisation interactive de la popularité des hommes politiques sur Twitter, vainqueur d’un prix au concours YouTube/Elections 2012 que nous avions déjà fait évoqué dans les Data en forme.

Facebook knows the social network of more than a billion persons. If you are a Facebook user though, you have little tools to explore your own social network. We are going to see how, with a few scraping tools, a Neo4j graph database and Linkurious, we can visualize our Facebook network. There is no easy solution to visualize your Facebook network. Facebook is restricting access to its API. Hervé Piedcoq, data analyst and OSINT expert is going to show you a method to 1) collect, 2) store and 3) visualize your Facebook network. 1st step : download your friends’ list We will use OutWit Hub, a powerful yet easy to use scraper, based on Mozilla and XUL. We could, of course, use Python or other languages to scrape Facebook, but OutWit Hub is clearly non-programmer oriented and immediately operational. Connect to your account via OutWit Hub and display the complete list of your friends. Visualizing your friends via Outwit-hub. OutWit Hub uses the source code of the webpage to scrape the data. /(\?
A New Visualization Method Makes Research More Organized and Efficient
DiscoveryA New Visualization Method Makes Research More Organized and Efficient The Action Science Explorer (ASE) helps reveal emerging trends and controversies and encourages collaborations within the research community December 7, 2011 The National Science Foundation (NSF) funded Action Science Explorer (ASE) allows users to simultaneously search through thousands of academic papers, using a visualization method that determines how papers are connected, for instance, by topic, date, authors, etc. The goal is to use these connections to identify emerging scientific trends and advances. "We are creating an early warning system for scientific breakthroughs," said Ben Shneiderman, a professor at the University of Maryland (UM) and founding director of the UM Human-Computer Interaction Lab. ASE is not itself a product, but rather "a scientific research study that shows some potent new features that could be added to bibliographic systems to support more powerful functions," said Shneiderman.
