Protovis - A Graphical Toolkit for Data Visualization
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
This project is led by Mike Bostock and Jeff Heer of the Stanford Visualization
|
|
Group, with significant help from Vadim Ogievetsky. We welcome your
|
|
contributions and suggestions.
