Javascript InfoVis Toolkit – New Version Released

As we've seen, javascript is growing into a viable solution for visualization on the Web. John Resig ported Processing to javascript about a year ago and we saw some projects in javascript to show off speed in Google Chrome.

Most recently, Nicolas Garcia Belmonte released version 1.1 of his InfoVis Toolkit, which provides a basic set of tools for creating interactive visualizations on the Web. Some of the features:

• Multiple Data Representations - Treemaps, Radial Layouts, HyperTrees/Graphs, SpaceTree-like Layouts, and more...
• Major Browsers Support - IE6+, Firefox2+, Safari3+, Opera9.5+
• Open Source - Licensed under the BSD License
• Library Agnostic - You may use the JIT with your favorite DOM manipulation framework
• Extensible - All visualization classes are mutable, so you can easily add/override any method you want.
• Composable - Visualizations can be combined in order to create new visualization methods.

Here are a couple of things you can do with the toolkit:
