JsVIS: JavaScript visualization software

Via Ajaxian, I learned about a new data visualization project called JsVis, released in January 2007.

JsVis, by Kyle Sholtz, is a JavaScript framework for creating “Snowflake graphs” like this one:

There is a lot of potential for visualizing complex relationships with this sort of tool. The basic layout is best for tree structures, but a thread on the discussion board indicates that there is a non-tree display method (particle model layout) which warrants investigation.

    [...] JsVIS is pretty nice, but a little slow with larger graphs. If yours is small it should work well. My favorite is prefuse which apparently now has a Flex front-end now called flare which could be controlled with JavaScript. [...]

Ideas and thoughts related to customer experience, usability, learning, cognitive science, and whatever else I find interesting.
