All of my Visio experience is with LAN/WAN documentation. I recently had a desire to visualize the relationship between objects in the Nagios configuration and I realized I didn't know how to do it properly and moved on to something more important. I was reading the responses to this thread and realized this is something software devel...
Basically I want tools which generate function call graph, dependency graph etc. ...
I have taken over a large code base and would like to get an overview how and where certain classes and their methods are used. Is there any good tool that can somehow visualize the dependencies and draw a nice call tree or something similar? The code is in C++ in Visual Studio if that helps narrow down any selection. ...
I'm about to start a project that will record and edit audio files, and I'm looking for a good library (preferably Ruby, but will consider anything other than Java or .NET) for on-the-fly visualization of waveforms. Does anybody know where I should start my search? ...
Do you know any libraries that would handle displaying of graph structures in .NET? I'm looking for something similar to java libraries: jgraph or Netbeans Visual Library. I'd like to display objects as nodes in the graph. ...
Are there any utilities out there which can draw pictures of the merge history of a subversion repo - we always commit merges with a (fairly) consistent log message, and it would be handy to be able to automatically extract this info into a single picture that shows what branches occurred when, and what the state of merges is. I'm just ...
What I want is lots of nodes which can expand making a mind map. I'd ideally like to expand and collapse nodes. I would like to be able to navigate by either dragging around the page, or by following expanded nodes. Thanks, Alex. ...
I'm trying to draw a graph on an ASP webpage. I'm hoping an API can be helpful, but so far I have not been able to find one. The graph contains labeled nodes and unlabeled directional edges. The ideal output would be something like this. Anybody know of anything pre-built than can help? ...
I wrote a script to export twitter friends as foaf rdf description. Now I'm looking for a tool to visualize the friend networks. I tried http://foafscape.berlios.de/ but for 300+ Nodes it is really slow and does a bad job on auto formatting. Any hints for good graph visualization tools? It's ok if they do not support foaf directly, but ...
Sometimes it might be useful, but mostly just looking cool or impressive to visualize log files (anything from http requests and to bandwith usage to cups of coffee drunk per day). I know about Visitorville which I think look a bit silly, and then there's gltail. How do you "visualize" your log files in realtime? ...
I need a framework for generating charts for data visualization. I picked up Processing www.processing.org/ but at the moment i can not run that in the "headless" mode from a web server. Is there any other candidate for this domain? What are the options if you need more chart type than what is supported by out-of-the-box solutions -Bhar...
I would like to create data visualizations in desktop apps, using frameworks, languages and libraries that help with this kind of task. Visualizations should be interactive: clickable, draggable, customizable, animated... What I would like to create is something similar to the examples seen here: http://www.visualcomplexity.com/vc/ Th...
When using Mercurial I sometimes find that it is hard to understand the relationship between changesets when there are thousands of changesets, and sometimes ten or more active branches at any one time. Currently, I use hgview which is okay, and while it makes a reasonable attempt to represent the parent relationships it is still basica...
Hello all, I am a new to the prefuse visualization toolkit and have a couple of general questions. For my purpose, I would like to perform an initial visualization using prefuse (graphview / graphml). Once rendered, upon a user click of a node, I would like to completely reload a new xml file for a new visualization. I want to do thi...
Hello everybody! I have a request to display VRML models within a .NET application. Does someone know an easy way, maybe with standard .NET components, to achieve this? What are the issues I maybe have to face when representing VRML within an application? Thank you very much! Michael ...
When using threads I sometimes visualise them as weaving together 3 or more dimensional interconnections between Objects in a Spatial context. This isn't a general use case scenario, but for what I do it is a useful way to think about it. Are there any APIs which you use which aid threading? Have you used threads in a manner which doe...
I'm currently reading some academic papers on Google Scholar, but I'm interested in the personal experiences of developers and web designers - when do you and don't you use tag clouds instead of another visualization method? ...
We want to include data visualization in our desktop GUI (mostly timelines and graphs; clickable, draggable). We want to restrict to open-source, non-copyleft C++ libraries that allow commercial use and are portable across many platforms. Which library can I use? Our GUI is based on WxWidgets. ...
I love data visualisation and to spread that love I thought we could share our favourite examples of data visualisation: Chess moves http://turbulence.org/spotlight/thinking/chess.html Chris Harrison's Visualisations http://www.chrisharrison.net/projects/visualization.html I especially like the bible and Wikipedia visualisations. I...
My employer is a large Swiss Telco. We have many Systems used to transfer data for different tasks, e.g. Performance Management, Fault Management, Configuration Management etc. In order explain to "Management" (pointy haired, and other) how these systems interact, I collected information about data flow/formats/protocols into a "databa...
