Is anyone using d3.js for visualizations in public internet sites, yet?

[Guerino1]

Hi,

We've recently started using a free and relatively new javascript library called "Data Driven Documents" or "D3.js" to build "interactive visualizations" for our commercial web applications. I'm thinking of applying it to our public web sites as well but haven't started, yet.

I was wondering if anyone on v7n is using D3.js to generate visualizations for their own public web sites and, if so, how?

Some examples I've been able to build include things like...

• Interactive Pie Charts
• Interactive Horizontal Bar Charts
• Interactive Vertical Bar Charts
• Interactive Radial Hub and Spoke Charts (a.k.a. Radial Wheel Charts)
• Force Directed Graphs

I'm looking forward to seeing your applications of the library, if you've started using it.

My Best,

Frank

Hi Raju51279,

You're not alone. Many companies choose to stay locked into older IE versions. In this day and age, I don't know why. I can understand if they've built apps that are tied to IE custom code but most don't.

Anyhow, we're using D3.js and will introduce it as part of a public product that will be offered by the Foundation. Just like "D3.js" is a "Data-Driven-Documents" solution, we've built a "Data Driven Web Site Builder". You feed it data and it generates a powerful, highly organized, thoroughly linked, and feature rich Web Site in seconds or minutes (depending on the volumes of data you pass it). D3 came along just in time for us to have a visualization library that matched our own paradigm and it fits in, quite nicely. We've been able to generate hundreds of thousands of Web Pages in less than 10 minutes, many of them that automatically generate D3 visualizations in them.

My Best,

Frank
