Processing for Data Charter / Graphing
May 7th, 2009, 3:02pm
 
My boss likes processinig and I can see why.  We ended up doing a significant amount of Business / Semi Scientific data graphing and
charting.  Time series, scatter plots, many types.

I know processing has good native capabilites for this , but -- >

Are there specific processing packages and extensions aimed just at this?

What would be the best way to go.  New to processing.  Any help would be appreciated.  Smiley

For everything related to Data Visualisation i can highly recommend Bens book : http://processing.org/learning/books/index.html#fry

As far as i know, there are no special libraries about this topic. Only thing i can think of is traerphysics that makes it easy to create treelike graphs like : http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~traer/randomarboretum/

Thanks! I have the book, it's very good.  It seems like a straight up datagraphing pack then suplemented by processinig would be a natural...
 
I wonder if one could be ported from Java and then integrated with processing.

There are plenty of Java libraries for that.
See for example the list of Open Source Graph or Network Visualization Written in Java or Open Source Structured Graphics Libraries Written in Java.
Or perhaps you are looking for something like JFreeChart or JasperReport

Now, these libraries might be not so easy to integrate to Processing.
