 Introduction
VantagePoint™ is a powerful
and flexible 100% Pure Java™ data visualization
class library. VantagePoint™ utilizes
a Model-View-Controller architecture that supports
a wide range of two- and three-dimensional
graph types and allows for seamless integration
with multiple data sources that update in real-time. |

Analysis + Interactivity + Visualization
| Visualization transforms data
into user-friendly information that forms a
critical component within the decision-making
process. Raw data represents information regarding
a wide range of underlying processes, each
placing different demands upon a data visualization
tool. VantagePoint™ enables an application
to handle the widest possible range of data
types through an optimal combination of two-
and three-dimensional visualization tools. |
|
| Whereas many data visualization
systems exclusively emphasize the presentation
of data, our tools take a more balanced approach
by recognizing the interrelationship among
analysis, interaction and visualization. All
three activities work in concert to provide
the necessary information, thereby allowing
the decision-maker to make better-informed
critical judgments. |
|
| Three-dimensional visualizations
often represent an effective means of presenting
very large data sets. They can be both intuitive
and effective in highlighting complex patterns
within the data. |
|
| VantagePoint™ supports
the following charting types:
Line chart (2D and 3D)
Bar chart (2D and 3D)
Combination line and bar chart
Scatter plot
Pie and Donut
Surface
High-Low-Close-Volume
Radar
Box plot
|
|
|
Interactive Architecture
| Our products are implemented
entirely in Java™, enabling the development
of cross-platform client-server applications
that bring the interactive presentation of
data to the decision-maker. Modes of interaction
include changing the three-dimensional orientation,
data drilling and examining the impact of
outliers on numerical analyses. |
|
| Users can test various scenarios
by interacting directly with the charts and
graphs to edit data visually. Since many
databases have data that are suspect, the
effect of removing those data from the data
set can be immediately investigated. |
|
| Our tools support data drilling,
the process of revealing the details that
underlie a given data point. This is an effective
means of performing market research, demographic
analysis and other research that makes use
of multi-dimensional data. |

|
Incorporating VantagePoint into Your
Application
| It is easy to incorporate
our charting tools into your project. A simple
DataSet interface enables you to pass data
that will be Visual Technologiesd by one or more of
the charting tools. Our framework is designed
to support data that change dynamically and
in real-time. In this way, the most recent
data may be presented and analyzed while
still supporting interactivity. This has
found application in network performance
and financial analysis software. Dynamic
data are typically time-series in nature.
That is, they consist of data observations
that are each "stamped" with a
time at which they were recorded. Our technology
supports time-series data by using special
analysis and visualization tools. |
|
|
Analytical Capability
| The Model-View-Controller
architecture allows VantagePoint™ to
handle sophisticated numerical analyses.
Currently supported methods include transposition,
univariate histogram, bivariate histogram,
correlations, and descriptive statistics.
VantagePoint™ also supports linear,
polynomial, moving averages, and customized
smoothing curves. These analytical tools
are interactive, enabling points to be excluded
from the analysis to remove outliers from
the computation of the curve. |
|
|
Server-side deployment
| VantagePoint™ may
be deployed server-side via the JV-Pub
library. By using this add-on, charts generated
server-side via VantagePoint™ may
be distributed as GIF images to any browser. |
