Before I retired, statistically interactive displays intrigued me. I became
aware of software by Datadesk which facilitated looking at data in the way
that the current dashboards suggest; at least the similarity is suggested
in my mind.

So my reason for posting this message is to see if others have been
successful in using J in this interactive visual manner for statistical
data. My research on this subject has mostly centered on D3 and I have
included some links below suggesting what has informed my research the
most. I have been rather disappointed in the complexity of programming D3,
and look forward to learning other's experience.

The very first link shows a running dashboard and related JavaScript code.
The second and third links provide code that is embedded in an article
written in the statistical programming language SAS; this link is included
because it might suggest how D3 can be linked to other programming
languages. (By the way I have seen the demos for D3 in both JHS and jqt.)
The fourth link promotes the possibility of using SVG for three-dimensional
data. Apparently that has been a weakness for D3.
The fifth link is to a rather long discussion about the changes in D3 which
are being pushed by the original developer. Many people are arguing against
the changes because they move D3 from being a library to a separate new
application.
