The task was to implement an application for data visualisation, using the tilemaps technique. Further the java based toolkit prefuse should be used.

Our prototype parses the input data ( .csv format ), writes the data into a table structure, creates the visualisation and maps the data. The color of each tile depends on the given values. Finally we define interaction and the result is ready to be printed on the screen.
Our final prototype parses given input data (provided in .csv files), writes it into table structures and calculates useful information like the adequate week for each entry. Therefor additional columns get appended and are use for our labeling. The visual mapping was realized by dependence of the color of each tile on the given values. Finally we defined basic interaction like zooming and created a simple user interface to control scaling and bucket size of our visualization. Now the result is ready to be printed on screen.
Our example data consists of 3 columns:
1 date
2 time
3 value
Internally we are appending several columns like year, week and many more.

Task Description[edit]

Our task was to implement an application for visualizing time-dependent data, using the so called tilemap technique. For detailed information on this fascinating technique, you should visit our Tilemap description. We were allowed to make use of the powerful java toolkit prefuse, which provides many of the needed functionalities.

Implementation Details[edit]

Our final prototype parses given input data (provided in .csv files), writes it into table structures and calculates useful information like the adequate week for each entry. Therefor additional columns get appended and are use for our labeling. The visual mapping was realized by dependence of the color of each tile on the given values. Finally we defined basic interaction like zooming and created a simple user interface to control scaling and bucket size of our visualization. Now the result is ready to be printed on screen.
