Scope

Eclipse Wisteria Dataviz is a desktop library and stand-alone application for creating data visualizations.

In scope is building multi-page reports that can be exported to PowerPoint, SVG, and PDF. Creating individual graphs and exporting as images is also supported. Importing of data from sources such as Excel, ODS, and text are supported.

Out of scope is connecting to live website or database data. Interactive dashboards are also out of scope.

Description

Eclipse Wisteria Dataviz is a data visualization toolkit based on wxWidgets (https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets), with a focus on statistics and social sciences.
It ships in two forms:

- A stable C++ library that can be embedded into any wxWidgets application
- A stand-alone application (currently in alpha release) for building graphical reports interactively, with no coding required

Library features include:

- Numerous built-in graphs
- Interface for displaying tabular data
- Built-in printing, copying, and exporting support
- Data importing (Excel, OpenDocument Spreadsheet, CSV, tab-delimited, or user-defined delimited files) support
- Data transformations, such as filtering, pivoting (both longer or wider), subsetting, and recoding
- Data exporting (CSV, tab-delimited, or user-defined delimited files) support
- Image support, including the ability to use images for plot and bar backgrounds, logos, and point markers
- Image effects, such as oil-painting and Sepia tone
- Effects for boxes and bars, including transparency, a watercolor look, a glassy look, stipple brushes, and color fades
- Reference lines and areas
- Pre-defined and extensible color schemes
- Multi-plot support
 - Graphs can be embedded side-by-side on the same (scrollable) canvas
 - Includes support for setting a common axis for all graphs across a row or down a column

Why Here?

I have two other projects, Readability Studio (which actually includes this project as a submodule) and Quneiform, and those projects fit nicely in the EF ecosystem.

Future Work
  • Add SPC related graphs
  • Further enhance the interactive application
  • Possibly add more dashboard-like features
Project Scheduling

Initial source code is ready. Initial release should be ready within ~3 months of acceptance into EF.
