LiveGraph Java graph framework

LiveGraph is a framework for real-time data visualisation, analysis and logging.
Distinctive features:
  • A real-time plotter that can automatically update graphs of your data while it is still being computed by your application.
  • Concise and simple point-and-click interface that allows quickly selecting and comparing data series even in applications that output over 1000 series simultaneously.
  • Transformation of data series for visual comparison by the virtue of a single click.
    (Linear, logarithm, unit interval, and time-plot transformations).
  • The framework is Java-based and can run on any computer system. However, it is easily integrated with applications written in any programming language. Examples and tutorials are provided.
  • LiveGraph reads files in a simple CSV-style format. For applications developed in Java, LiveGraph additionally provides an API that handles all data logging and persistency issues.

Rserve

Rserve is a TCP/IP server which allows other programs to use facilities of R (see www.r-project.org) from various languages without the need to initialize R or link against R library. Every connection has a separate workspace and working directory. Client-side implementations are available for popular languages such as C/C++, PHP and Java. Rserve supports remote connection, authentication and file transfer. Typical use is to integrate R backend for computation of statstical models, plots etc. in other applications.

hive plots

The hive plot is a rational visualization method for drawing networks. Nodes are mapped to and positioned on radially distributed linear axes — this mapping is based on network structural properties. Edges are drawn as curved links. Simple and interpretable.
The purpose of the hive plot is to establish a new baseline for visualization of large networks — a method that is both general and tunable and useful as a starting point in visually exploring network structure.
