[x3d-public] [x3dom-users] d3-x3dom 3D Data Visualisation Library

[John Carlson]

Jim,

What ideas would you take from D3.js and put into the X3D abstract specification. Would Mike B. be accepting of making the data-join as a X3D component?

Just curious as to whether we could do such a thing, to make X3D more “data driven” by default.

Or is it fine as it is, and we should leverage both tools at the same time. Like the UNIX philosophy

Also, have you thought to add animation to your charts?  Interactivity (drag to select a data value or pan/zoom into a range of data)? Does X3DOM limit you in some way? Do we need a “DataVis” NavigationInfo type in X3D?

Here’s some ideas for a 4D (or 5D) Visualization Library (you may use any of flowers.xhtml you want if you give me a mention)

https://coderextreme.net/X3DJSONLD/src/main/html/flowers.xhtml
https://coderextreme.net/x3dschema/

Are you going to limit the library to 3D?

I will collaborate on a >3D data visualization library (or an interactive chart builder—currently have a preprogrammed non-working one for bitcoin and other currencies, I haven’t complied with back-end changes yet) with you if you’re interested.  Let me know, start a repo or something.  Knock the socks off people.

I currently have a line chart for 4 ribbons of data in time series.   Your ribbon chart looks like it would be useful for that.  Let me see what I can do to get familiar with your library.

I’m currently using plotly.  Can you do something like: https://plot.ly/python/visualizing-mri-volume-slices/ in your tool? The medical working group may want to see that.

Hi Jim.  Your work looks super, well in keeping with the stellar nature of D3.  Thanks for letting us know more about your work!

As you may know, we continue to make persistent progress towards X3D version 4.0 to achieve full integration with HTML5, DOM and CSS standards.  X3DOM and X_ITE are our two major implementations to date. Top-level page is

	http://www.web3d.org/x3d4

As we get farther down the road, we will be looking to test in many directions.  Your engagement and D3-X3DOM exemplars will be welcome.

Please feel free to keep a list of suggestions and issues for X3D.  The x3dom mailing lists (as you obviously know) is where source issues get sorted out, while the X3D community and Working Group are where capabilities get improved and design issues are reconciled.  All feedback is welcome, we progress together as best possible.

Looking forward to continuing progress.  Have fun with X3D!   8)
