Tools for multivariate data

  • GGobi, is visualization software for viewing high-dimensional data. A variety of multivariate graphics such as tours and parallel coordinate plots are available. http://www.ggobi.org/
  • Mondrian, is a general purpose statistical data-visualization system written in JAVA. It features outstanding visualization techniques for Categorical Data, Geographical Data and LARGE Data.http://rosuda.org/Mondrian/Mondrian.html
  • Visulab, (short for visualisation laboratory) is an experimental software package for the comparative visualisation of multivariate data. The latest Release of this software is designed as an Add-In to work in Microsoft Excel 2000, XP, 2003 and up. http://www.inf.ethz.ch/personal/hinterbe/Visulab/
  • Xmdvtool. Public-domain software package for the interactive visual exploration of multivariate data sets. http://davis.wpi.edu/~xmdv/

Tools for network data and hierarchical data

Tools for textual data

  • IN-SPIRE. IN-SPIRE™ provides tools for exploring textual data, including Boolean and “topical” queries, term gisting, and time/trend analysis tools. This suite of tools allows the user to rapidly discover hidden information relationships by reading only pertinent documents.http://in-spire.pnl.gov/

A toolkit is a software package that supports the development of several graphical representations. Most well known are:

  • Flare visualization toolkit. http://flare.prefuse.org. Flare is a collection of ActionScript 3 classes for building a wide variety of interactive visualizations. For example, flare can be used to build basic charts, complex animations, network diagrams, treemaps, and more. Flare is written in the ActionScript 3 programming language and can be used to build visualizations that run on the web in the Adobe Flash Player.
  • Piccolo toolkit, from the University of Maryland. It's a toolkit focused on zooming interfaces. Available for Java and C#. URL: http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/piccolo/
  • Prefuse, from the Univeristy of California, Berkeley and Palo Alto Research Center. It allows to represent networks, hierarchies, and non-connected collections of data (timelines, scatterplots). It's written in Java. URL: http://prefuse.sourceforge.net/
  • The InfoVis CyberInfrastructure, from University of Indiana. It's a generic toolkit that incorporates several representations. Runs with Java. URL: http://iv.slis.indiana.edu/.
  • The InfoVis Toolkit, from INRIA, France. A general infovis toolkit. The version 0.8, implements eight (8) types of visualization: Scatter Plots, Time Series and Parallel Coordinates for tables; Node-Link diagrams, Icicle trees and Treemaps for trees; Adjacency Matrices and Node-Link diagrams for graphs. Written in Java. URL: http://ivtk.sourceforge.net.
  • GAV, from Linköping University, is a generic GeoAnalytics Visualization (GAV) component toolkit, based on the principles behind Visaul Analytics, but with more focus on the explorative data analysis (EDA). http://nvis.itn.liu.se/GAV/
  • GeoVISTA Studio is an open software development environment designed for geospatial data. By the Department of Geography of Penn State University. URL: http://www.geovistastudio.psu.edu

  • JUNG: Java Universal Network/Graph Framework, from the University of California, Irvine. It is a software library that provides a common and extendible language for the modeling, analysis, and visualization of data that can be represented as a graph or network. It is written in Java. URL: http://jung.sourceforge.net/
  • The Visualization ToolKit (VTK), is an open source software system for 3D computer graphics, image processing, and visualization. It consists of a C class library, and several interpreted interface layers including Tcl/Tk, Java, and Python. URL: http://public.kitware.com/VTK/
