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. http://bl.ocks.org/diethardsteiner/3287802 https://gist.github.com/NPashaP/96447623ef4d342ee09b https://www.mwsug.org/proceedings/2014/DV/MWSUG-2014-DV09.pdf https://observablehq.com/@sanderevers/svg-transformations https://talk.observablehq.com/t/i-want-to-learn-d3-i-don-t-want-to-learn-observable-is-that-ok/1957/6 Thanks, (B=) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
