The InfoVis Toolkit / News: Recent posts

To prepare new releases and simplify the development / deployment process, The InfoVis toolkit moved to Subversion and is now developed using Maven. A version 0.10-alpha-1 is available on the maven repository soon to be documented: ivtk.sf.net/maven.

Mostly bug fixes.

The InfoVis Toolkit is a Interactive Graphics Toolkit written in Java/Swing to ease the development of Information Visualization applications and components.
This release does not add new functionalities but improve the existing ones and simplifies lots of internal mechanisms.
In particular, permutations and deep filtering is clarified.

The InfoVis Toolkit is a Interactive Graphics Toolkit written in Java/Swing to ease the development of Information Visualization applications and components.

Its main characteristics are:
1) A unified data structure to manage large datasets quickly
2) A rich and extensible set of data structures and visualization components
3) A unified set of interactive components for filtering (a.k.a. dynamic queries) and Magic Lenses.
4) A small memory footprint
5) Fast: java graphics can be accelerated using the Agile2D package based on OpenGL.... read more

The InfoVis Toolkit is a Interactive Graphics Toolkit written in Java/Swing to ease the development of Information Visualization applications and components.

This release incorporates a lot of changes:
- The license have changed: it is now the ultra-liberal X11/MIT license
- Visualization components are split into several parts: interactors, layout and rendering items. This split improves the modularity and extensibility of visualizations.
- Visualizations can ask for a preferred size, allowing visualization panels to scroll.
- More layouts are available: the new GraphViz 2 programs can be used (circo, fdp, etc.) and an implementation of a dynamic graph layout is provided.
- Lots of cleanup on internal structures: Factories are unified, Columns rely on Colt arrays.
- Log4j is used for logging
- Agile2D has been removed from the distribution and can be downloaded from elsewhere
- Many more details are improved.

Lots of new functionalities.

The InfoVis Toolkit has now moved to SourceForge.
The first alpha release is available for download, both in source and binary form.

Enjoy!
