A sort of follow up/related question to this. I'm trying to get a grip on a large code base that has hundreds and hundreds of classes and a large inheritance hierarchy. I want to be able to see the "main veins" of the inheritance hierarchy at a glance - not all the "peripheral" classes that only do some very specific / specialized thin...
Has anyone come across a tool to visualize an ActiveRecord / NHibernate entity model? ...
Is there any tool by which you can visualize the sequence of PHP code such that you can avoid mistakes such as here? I had an idea that the code later in my PHP code will overwrite the code at the beginning. However, this was not the case in my case. ...
I'm writing a plug-in for a program that ultimately outputs some data into a few tables. The users need to be able to analyze this data through various reports. But right now the work flow is to export the tables from my plug-in to another program like excel or access to manipulate the data and generate reports. The users aren't the most...
I'm looking to build a container that can contain a stack of synchronized time-series data visualizations. This can include line charts, event schedules, and any other similar items. I want the end mxml code to look something like: <timeCanvas> <lineChart data=foo> <lineChart data=bar> <userAvailabilityChart data=baz> </timeCa...
I want to represent some data visually, using a visualization component. Now I want to represent this situation in a visual way: Suppose I have an web application. I want to get an overview in a visual way about how users are reacting to it. Say: in Day1 I have 2 users: u1, u2 in Day2 I have 2 users: u1, u2 In Day3 I have 3 users: u...
Hi all, I would like to be able to set the stroke-width on an SVG element to be "pixel-aware", that is always be 1px wide regardless of the current scaling transformations applied. I am aware that this may well be impossible, since the whole point of SVG is to be pixel independent. Context follows: I have an SVG element with its viewB...
I have to give presentations to end-users about technical topics and one of the questions I have occasionally been asked is why I use a cylinder icon to represent a database. I don't have a good answer for this except that this is the way databases are usually represented in technical literature and, since I'm not an artist, I haven't be...
I know in Access there is a way I can visualize the relationship between tables in a diagram - kind of like an ER diagram. I am new to Oracle. I am wondering if I can do the same/similar thing with Oracle. Could someone give some suggestions? ...
I have an array of data which I need to display in a tree form. Birdeye seems to be a good tool but has poor documentation. Can you suggest some good flex visualisation tools? Or some birdeye tutorials to get the hang of it? (Google wasn't very helpful) ...
I am writing a program in python to experiment an academic idea. Look at a resultant image the program generates: The thick skeleton lines in the middle of the leaf is what need to be visualized. Every segment of the skeleton lines has a value associated with it, in the above image (drawn by pycairo), different shades of gray are us...
What could help me in helping writing highly compact(least byte code count) programs in Java. Possibly I'm looking at: A tool that tells me how many byte codes a Class or a method generates. To visualize byte codes. The tool could tell me which areas need optimization in terms of byte code count or cpu cycles. A byte code chart woul...
I'm looking at a database diagram generated by MySQL Workbench (actually, DBDesigner4), but I'm not familiar with it so I couldn't figure out some of the symbols it uses for relationships and fields. Does anyone know a good legend? ...
I have an xml file which I need to visualize in a pdf file. I use xslt to do transformations and an svg image in the pdf. The svg will finally draw some information and also display a tiff image, for which the path and the resolution is in the xml file. The problem is that the image can have different resolutions which I need to fit int...
If you compare two sets of data (such as two files), the differences between these sets can be displayed in two columns, or two panes, such as WinMerge does. But are there any visual paradigms to display the differences between multiple data sets? Update The starting point of my question was the assumption that displaying differences ...
I have heard some good reviews oF Visualization ToolKit(VTK) from developers. But, exactly how powerful is it? For example, can it handle visualization of an entire oil reservoir (in a simulator) with billions of grids?? Most industrial reservoir simulators run on parallel processors. I know VTK supports parallel processing, but again h...
In the company that I work for we have several web-based applications that require charting of data in one form or another. We are therefore investigating different ways of reusing the efforts we put into providing charts. As far as we have come there seems to be an architectural divide in that we can either use the same charting compone...
I'm after some ideas for demonstrating the usefulness of Floyd-Warshall visually. So far all I can think of is generating a random graph, allowing the user to select a start/finish and highlight the shortest path. What are some more fun yet simple demonstrations of the usefulness of path-finding? ...
Is this a technology I should spend much time evaluating? http://code.google.com/chrome/chromeframe/ Chrome Frame is a plugin for Internet Explorer (IE6-IE8) that gives it, well, what all the other major browsers have. Biggies for me are the Canvas tag and a fast JavaScript. As I do a lot of JavaScript dataset visualization, IE6 is a...
I am working on an Eclipse RCP application which should display an internal hierarchical structure as a graph. The nodes of the graph should be positioned on different points of a background image but should offer drag support. The graph should be zoom-able possibly without resizing the nodes on the maps (layout zoom) while the backgroun...
