Re: [CODE4LIB] Visualization libraries for lib data

I second D3.js for putting together custom web-based interactive visualizations. NVD3 (http://nvd3.org/) is another good starting point for D3 that takes some of the time/pain out of building custom charts. For non-coders, Tableau (http://www.tableausoftware.com/) is another very powerful and full

Re: [CODE4LIB] Visualization libraries for lib data

Highcharts truly is a wonderful tool. However, it can be onerous to get it to accept "datetime" values but the documentation and examples are great (http://www.highcharts.com/demo/). You can theme your charts, be interactive, etc. It is all built and used via JavaScript so having a firm foundati

Hi, I parked these links in my pile of links for later, perhaps they'll help you with your project? Dashing is a nice framework to handle making a dashboard: http://shopify.github.io/dashing/ Here's a writeup of how someone used Raspberry Pis and TVs to put dashboards around their office. htt

There's also C3 which is a D3-based chart library. It's supposed to make using D3 a little easier. I haven't used it myself - just bookmarked it for future reference. http://c3js.org/ Heather - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Heather Klish Systems Librarian University Library Technology Tuft

Re: [CODE4LIB] Visualization libraries for lib data

Definitely Highcharts. I have used it on a few projects, and it is fantastic. It's free for non-commercial use. Great documentation and support. It also has plugins for several web app frameworks like Rails, Django, Yii, etc. Very helpful if you are going to use one of those to build your dashboard

I've used D3 to build charts for a similar data dashboard. It's maybe a little less plug-and-play than other charting libraries but has tremendous adoption, is really flexible. http://d3js.org/ Best, Eric On Fri, Sep 19, 2014 at 7:25 AM, Michel, Jason wrote: > Hello all! > > We're in the proce
