O predavanju:

Data visualisations are increasingly being built for the web, rather than native platforms. This talk will look at three specific examples of implementing data visualisation in modern web browsers.

Responsive data visualisations adapt their form, layout, and interactivity according to the available space and characteristics of the display device. RespVis in an open-source library, written in TypeScript and D3, which implements a number of common responsive patterns to assist chart authors in creating a responsive chart.

Accessible data visualisation seeks to make charts and visualisations more accessible to users with various forms of disability. The AChart project provides tools to create and interpret semantically enriched SVG charts. AChart Creator is a command-line tool which generates accessible SVG charts from CSV fles using the D3 framework, by injecting ARIA roles and properties from the AChart taxonomy. AChart Interpreter is a client-side web application and executable package which can interpret and read out such a semantically-enriched SVG chart.

Among the many applications of data visualisation, software visualisation looks to provide visual tools to software developers and managers. Gizual is a web application, written in TypeScript and React and using WebAssembly and Web Workers, for visualising Git repositories. For a specific timestamp (commit), Gizual displays a graphical overview of files in the project, where each line of code is colour-coded by age or by last author.
