HI guys, I wonder if you can help me at all. I'm going to be involved in a "data visualization" project, meaning that I have to find a good way to visualize some data. What do you mean I hear you say? Well, we have some data and we have to make it look attractive (this data is a little interactive in that users will be able to interact with it, like drag and drop stuff etc).
I have absolutely zero experience with visualization and I'm looking around the net for ideas. So, I was just wondering if any of you has any experience in prettify data , visualizing it and presenting it to users. I have no idea what I can use to develop that, javascript for example, or prebuilt software or whatever else. I've found something interesting today. a library called Processing.js which seems promising but I have no idea, like it's not too clear at what level it supports users interaction and how easy it is (I quickly played around with it for about 10-15 minutes and it seems all right) hence my post.
Does anybody have any nice suggestion or even share his/her experience?
thanks

Jump to PostI'm not sure exactly what you'll be visualising, so it's difficult to suggest anything, but I'm sure that d3 will have you covered. It's immensely powerful and incredibly well-designed.
Jump to PostThat's definitely possible in d3, but d3 is more for visualisation than interactive 'physics' stuff, which sounds like what you're after.
Perhaps something like matter-js …
