InfoVis

For my first venture into Seaside, I wanted to see if I could get
these demos going in Squeak.  I'm a Seaside neophyte, please be kind.
After registering InfoVisExamplesBrowserComponent as an application
(at 'infovis') and adding InfoVisAbstractLibrary,
InfoVisDevelopmentLibrary, InfoVisExampleLibrary and
JSJsonDevelopmentLibrary allowed at least the Area chart and Pie
charts to work, but none of the other examples.  Radial graph at least
draws the concentric rings but nothing else.

Is there another library I need or maybe something else for me to try?

thanks..

Hello Chris

For me it worked right out of the box. Very nice.
Below are the steps to make it work. Actually the way how it is supposed to be.

Regards
Hannes

Testing InfoVis in Squeak 4.2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1) Take Squeak Seaside 4.2 all-in-one image (a fresh one)

2) Open Monticello Browser and add the InfoVis repository

    MCHttpRepository
        location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/InfoVis'
        user: ''
        password: ''

3) Open the InfoVis repository and load
       ConfigurationOfInfoVis-hkl.3


4) Execute
       (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfInfoVis) load.

5) Execute
        InfoVisExamplesBrowserComponent initialize

6) Point your browser to
        <a href="http://localhost:nnnn/browse/examples">http://localhost:nnnn/browse/examples

     to find the Infovis examples browser
     (nnnn = port number on which Seaside is running)

7) All examples but one are working

CHARTS
    Area Chart
    Bar Chart
    Pie Chart

GRAPHS AND TREES
    Force directed (does not work)
    Hyper tree
    Radial graph
    Space tree

SPACE FILLING TREES
    Icicle
    Sunburst
    TreeMap


Remark:
the examples browser as such is as well a good starting point for
presenting information.


Excellent work; congratulations to Holger Kleinsorgen.!!

Is there some background information / documentation available for the
Smalltalk implementation?

P.S. I wrote down the instructions in a detailed way so that I can
easily do the loading again.
