The other JIT: JavaScript Information Visualization Toolkit
Date : 2008 05 22 Category : Tech & DevelopmentNicolas Garcia Belmonte has written a different JIT, the JavaScript Information Visualization Toolkit.
The JIT is an advanced JavaScript infovis toolkit based on 5 papers about different information visualization techniques.
The JIT implements advanced features of information visualization like Treemaps (with the slice and dice and squarified methods), an adapted visualization of trees based on the Spacetree, a focus+context technique to plot Hyperbolic Trees, and a radial layout of trees with advanced animations (RGraph).
There are some cool examples such as the treemap visualization of his top 50 albums, or the network of pearl jam’s related artists, and finally the spacetree algorithm at work.
