Dynamically generate an R lattice graph for many fields

I'm wondering if the following is possible. I have a survey with 100+ questions, all categorical, collected in 4 locations. All questions are labeled q1, q2 and so on. Let's say there are 100 for simplicity. I can visually compare the results of a particular question across locations with: library (lattice); histogram(~ q75 | location...

Django Model for storing Internet Usage Stats

Hi, I'm writing a small Django-based frontend to collect and graph internet usage statistics. Currently, from our ISP, we get monthly text files that show the average bytes/second for every 5-minute interval.

Is there a good algorithm for working out the coordinates of all the nodes ...

How can I set tens of thousands of tasks to each trigger at a different defined time?

I'm constructing a data visualisation system that visualises over 100,000 data points (visits to a website) across a time period. The time period (say 1 week) is then converted into simulation time (1 week = 2 minutes in simulation), and a task is performed on each and every piece of data at the specific time it happens in simulation tim...

Web data visualization/charting library

I'm building a Rails app that needs some data visualization. What is a good library to learn? (If it matters, I don't have much web/javascript experience, but I'm starting to learn.)

Data Visualization Strategies - algorithm to compute data quality

I have a multi domain data source, and I'm trying to visualize it. It contains many values, strings, timestamps, lat/long, numbers, labels etc.. Of course our display can only show a few dimensions (usually 2) at a time, so I have to programmatically select which attributes to show. I'm trying to do this based upon attribute quality, le...

Data structure visualizer for javascript

I am looking for a javascript library which renders an arbitrary (but acyclic) JSON data blob into some sort of semi-interactive HTML view.
