Visualizations everywhere: A Multiplatform Infrastructure for Linked Visualizations
Danyel Fisher, Steven M. Drucker, Raquel Fernández, S Ruble · IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics · 2010
In order to use new visualizations, most toolkits require application developers to rebuild their applications and distribute new versions to users. The WebCharts Framework take a different approach by hosting JavaScript from within an application and providing a standard data and events interchange. In this way, applications can be extended dynamically, with a wide variety of visualizations. We discuss the benefits of this architectural approach, contrast it to existing techniques, and give a variety of examples and extensions of the basic system.
