Ismael, I missed your original post, so am not sure what kind of advice you were looking for. But I've been working on a bibliography for visualization and have found the following sites useful: Visual Complexity http://www.visualcomplexity.com/vc/ Data Visualization: Modern Approaches (Smashing Magazine) http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/08/02/data-visualization-modern-approac hes/ Sixteen Awesome Data Visualization Tools http://mashable.com/2007/05/15/16-awesome-data-visualization-tools/ A Periodic Table of Visualization Methods http://www.visual-literacy.org/periodic_table/periodic_table.html Jim Porter
Hi,
Some weeks ago I asked for some advice on visualization tools. For those interested (there seemed to be some of them ;) I thought I'd forward to the list the solution I took.
And the winner is... Many Eyes (http://services.alphaworks.ibm.com/manyeyes/app)
It is not _exactly_ what I was looking for, as Java is more demanding than flash (when loading) and it's a hosted service, not something you can do on your desktop and upload to your site. But it does work.
Yes, there's the option to embed it on your site. But, with a little bit of "codespotting", you can even _upload_ the result to your own site, so you you're not losing your work when IBM shuts down the site (things happen, call me paranoid).
So, just a test can be seen here: http://services.alphaworks.ibm.com/manyeyes/view/SQYskMsOtha662mEDLGxM2~ and the corresponding upload to the fully own hosted version: http://ictlogy.net/maps/ismael_pena-lopez_research_interests.php
As said, just a test, but it works quite cool.
Thanks a lot for those that answered back my first e-mail.
Best,
