Goals
- Render 2D charts using OpenGL/VTK
- Scalable to large data sets
- Simple, flexible API
- Enable server side rendering of charts with VTK compositing
Open Questions
- Alternate backend to produce publication quality output?
- Possibility to extend the API to 3D charts in the future?
- Maybe real-time charting? (just-in-time visualization of data sets)
Further Details on API
Please see VTK/Charts/API API for a discussion about the API. There is also more detail about the VTK/Charts/2DAPI "2D API" and the VTK/Charts/ChartAPI "chart API" along with proposed class relationships.
Chart Types
- XY plot
- Scatter
- Bar chart
- Histogram
- Stack chart
- Pie chart
- Parallel axes
- Tree map
