Back Story
I been spending a good amount of time becoming familiar with the processing language with the intention of creating interactive data visualizations. Recently, I've finally become comfortable enough with the language to begin creating some plots and charts. I thought a natural place to start would be with the basic time-series line chart that Excel is really good at. Through this experience I discovered it is straight forward to plot the data, but very tedious to create a fully decorated chart with axes, tick marks, titles, and labels.
So what's up?
Then I wised up and sought out a library. The only option I could dig up is the gwoptics library. It seems like a nice beginning, but it does not compare to the what is being produced with other visualization languages, (e.g. see https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Gallery). It also appears that development of the gwoptics library has halted. Why hasn't there been more interest in creating a processing library that can facilitate the creation of data visuals like those seen at the d3 gallery? Does something like this already exist?
