DATA PLOTTER: ARBITRARY DATA VISUALIZATION

摘要

Visualization tools are critical in areas where the information content is inherently difficult to describe or understand. Constructing a complex visualization of arbitrary data requires an unfortunate level of understanding of the underlying principles, independent from the details of the data involved. We have been working on a tool which allows a general user to link an arbitrary data set to a useful visualization. The tool was implemented in Java to support extensibility through object-oriented design, as well as platform independence for wide usability.
