visualization

trying to find the name of a particular data visualization technique...

I'm having a hard time describing a Flash program that uses a sort of hub-spoke data visualization technique. As the user navigates to a particular term, any term that is directly related would be represented with a line extending outward from the current term to the related term. Similar to how spokes extend from the hub of a wheel. So...

Advanced visualization options for ASP.NET

I'm looking for ways to present statistical information in my ASP.NET web application.

I am looking for a javascript library which plots networks with the nodes arranged in a circle.

Servus, Do you know of any frameworks, APIS, languages, or other resources that are well suited for drawing topology maps that allow a user to interact with objects on the map?

Drawing many spheres in OpenGL

I want to draw many spheres (~100k) using OpenGL. So far, I'm doing something like for (int i=0; i<pnum; i++){ glPushMatrix(); glTranslatef(bpos[i].x, bpos[i].y, bpos[i].z); glCallList(DListSPHERE); glPopMatrix(); } Before using proper spheres, I used GL_POINTS. That allowed me to call glDrawArrays with an array co...

Tools for visualizing and implementing elliptic curve cryptography

I need to create a program which will show how elliptic curve cryptography works. I was considering using Java Swing to create the GUI, but the main problem is what tool to use to plot the elliptic curve itself, and how to integrate that with Java Swing. I would like the plot to be included in the user interface and also allow changes ...

Is Hackystat only academically interesting?

I stumbled across Hackystat and was surprised to see this project has been around since 2001 50 public releases pretty active development ...but there is not a single StackOverflow question about it. Does anyone make use of any of the sensors or of the system itself for non-academic, i.e. "real-world" reasons? Any experiences at all...

C# Com Interop with Windows Media Player Visualisation (With Sample Code)

I am attempting to create a Windows Media Player (WMP) Visualization plugin in C#. I am quite new to exposing C# to COM and may have missed something basic. I have persisted with this for 3 days (about 20 hours) and not got past the single issue I will describe below. For those who don't know, WMP visualizations are the pretty images th...

Drawing two-dimensional point-graphs

I've got a list of objects (probably not more than 100), where each object has a distance to all the other objects. This distance is merely the added absolute difference between all the fields these objects share. There might be few (one) or many (dozens) of fields, thus the dimensionality of the distance is not important. I'd like to d...

Most underused data visualization

Histograms and scatterplots are great methods of visualizing data and the relationship between variables, but recently I have been wondering about what visualization techniques I am missing. What do you think is the most underused type of plot? Answers should: Not be very commonly used in practice. Be understandable without a great de...
