em, The Timeplot is very useful to me and is probably the one I use most. You can see how I use them here<http://wjwieland.dvrdns.org/cb_tracker/ad_tracker.html>. The "Moisture Plot" and "Price Plot" views specifically. In looking at the demos of the JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit library [2] you provided, I think this would be a very useful incorporation.
My concern would be that the graphs remain within the "views" method of Exhibit functionality in conjunction with the filtering facets. I looked at the stacked area graph in the demos and can imagine that replacing the Timeplots used in my application with the graphs from the InfoVis library. The ability to select a stack as a filter within the graph is nice. However, I still would prefer the standard filtering facets to be the main selection method because it allows multi-filtering of data within the graph. As you can see via the link above, I am using Exhibit to visualize performance on a small farm.(there is lots left for me to build yet, but what I have is very useful to me already). I have tested Exhibit 3.0 code against my site and found that it works fine, seems faster....except for the fact that those filter capable graphs that I use are not yet available. As an end user, I can't switch until they are available, and hesitate to commit more time to developing my simple app until I can decide whether 2.x or 3.0 is the way to go. As I mentioned, there are many things yet to do with my little app. Exhibit is the way I want to go for displaying information. It is simply excellent, and I like it. I have simple perl modules that request data from an sqlite3 DB and convert the results to Exhibit JSON; this works great. Thus, my interest in seeing the 3.0 code encapsulate the full set of 2.x functionality. Honestly, I don't care which visualization library is used(though I do like the look of the one you are interested in!). Mostly, I want my filtering facets to work with whatever graphs are made available, which I guess means that the graph has to make use of the underlying Exhibit database to drive what is displayed. Please let me know if I can clarify any of the above or answer any other question about how I use exhibit. ....and thanks for the great work on Exhibit 3.0! I look forward to being able to convert. wjw On Friday, April 27, 2012 7:15:46 AM UTC-5, em wrote: > > > On Apr 22, 2012, at 6:03 PM, MacKenzie Smith wrote: > > > No plans to do that at MIT (and guessing not at Zepheira either, but > > they can speak up if they do).
