Vis

This is a PureScript library for creating variational data visualizations with a specific focus on exploratory and comparative data analysis tasks.

Installing

First, you need a Purescript setup on your system, with Pulp in particular. The code is only tested with purs version 0.11.7 and pulp version 11.0.2. It also requires a patched version of the Purescript canvas library, which is available in this fork at least until there is a better story for anti-clockwise arcs in the official library.

Once you have that installed you should be able to simply clone this repository, open it in a terminal, and run the following (user whatever port you want):

pulp repl -- --port=1234

Next open localhost:1234 in a browser. Once all loading has finished, go back to the REPL and load the library itself with the following command:

import Main

Now you should be able to render any visualization you like by passing them to the go function. For example, to draw one of the simple built-in examples try:

go v1
