RE: [flexcoders] data visualization...creative idea?
You can show three dimensions in two with some pretty effective results. http://www.gapminder.org/world/ is a great example of visualising complex data, I've used similar graphs to show a lot of data at once.

Any creative ideas on this? I have an change impact triad: Cost, Schedule, Technical Cost is (1M,1M-25M, 25M) Schedule is (1mo,1mo-1yr,1yr) Technical is (Minor,Moderate,Significant) When a change request (changeID) is proposed it is evaluated on these three scales for the purpose of comparison (prioritization,design trade decisions, etc.). I'm trying to imagine ways to visualize this data to compare changes. Goal would be to see all changes that have the highest impact relative to these three dimensions. As I ponder it, I thought I'd bounce it off you. Maybe you can help me think of creative ways do visualize it in Flex to help management evaluate proposed changes.:) Thanks, Don
Re: [flexcoders] data visualization...creative idea?
Don, You have 3 decision dimensions. So you need a display that can represent these 3 dimensions in a way or another. An example a 3 dimensions component is the treemap. I gives you coloring, sizing and hierarchy. And you can map each of this property to one of your decision dimension. For example you can map the size of the treemap cells to the cost, the color of the cells to the technical impact and then the hierarchy of the treemap to the schedule. Doing would give the most costful changes as the biggest cells with (for example) the red color under the 1yr schedule subtree. The cheap changes would be the smallest cells with (for example) the green color under the 1mo subtree. See: http://visudemos.ilog.com/webdemos/treemap/treemap.html for the kind of display you can get with a treemap in Flex. Of course any components with at least 3 inputs parameters can be used.
