Product Information
What is Protovis?
Protovis composes custom views of data with simple marks such as bars and dots. Unlike low-level graphics libraries that quickly become tedious for visualization, Protovis defines marks through dynamic properties of data, allowing inheritance, scales, and layouts to simplify construction. Protovis is free and open-source, provided under the BSD License. It uses JavaScript and SVG for web-native visualizations; no plugins are required (though you do need a modern web browser)! While programming experience is helpful, Protovis is primarily declarative and designed to be learned by example.
How to use Protovis?
