A software repository for education and research in information visualization
Katy Börner, Yuanchun Zhou · Proceedings Fifth International Conference on Information Visualisation · 2002
This paper argues for the creation of a software repository for research and education in information visualization (IV). It starts with an introduction and overview of IV online resources and software repositories. Next, we introduce the code repository that we have created and demonstrate how it was used in the IV course which one of the authors teaches. Sample implementations by students are presented as well. We conclude with a discussion of ways to grow and maintain the software repository and invite contributions.
