JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit 1.1 Preview

In case you’re wondering what I’m up to…

I’ve been adding more features to the JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit, to be released I-don’t-know-when-yet (still a lot of work to do regarding documentation, hosting, scripts, etc.).

Anyway, this video shows only some of the features to be included:

  • Custom nodes: built-in shapes are none, circle, square, rectangle, ellipse, among others
  • Custom edges: built-in shapes are none, line, quadratic, bezier, arrow, among others
  • Custom Animations: linear, Quart, Bounce, Elastic, Back, etc.
  • Change tree orientation: already possible in 1.0.8a.

Unfortunately my video card isn’t very good, so the video quality and fps aren’t as good as I’d wanted.
Animations are pretty smooth though, as you can see for yourself, so don’t blame the library, blame my computer!

Anyway, here’s the video:

Another cool thing is that you can also create custom node and edge rendering functions :)

Stay tuned, there are more features to come!

    Hi Nicolas
    I’m trying to evangelise the use of your wonderful JIT toolkit wherever I can, but I occasionally get asked about the licensing of the libraries?

    I’m assuming you’re pretty free with the license, but could you clarify what terms you’re making the code available under…

    thanks :-)

    @matatk: Thanks! :)

    @Tony Hirst:
    Thanks a lot :) , The license is BSD, you can find more information about the license in the header of the files of the library:

    http://blog.thejit.org/wp-content/jit-1.0a/doc/core/files/Canvas-js.html

    This license means that you can modify the code and even use it in commercial|non-commercial projects as long as you keep the header in these files.

    Regards,
