I'm hoping to make some custom interactive web-accessible visualizations -- think of Hans Rosling as a starting point -- and have some coding background. I get the sense that Processing and Flash/Actionscript are two of the main options. From what I can tell, people seem to describe Processing as a learning tool and a good place to start, but then you might want to move to something else. My question: what does Processing lack that Flash/Actionscript has? In other words, if I learn Processing (which is open source and has a ton of easily accessible learning materials), what are the drawbacks? Can Flash more easily handle large-scale data, advanced GUIs, something else? Is there something else I should consider? I looked around a little bit but haven't found satisfying answers to these questions. For what it's worth, I'm a student so cheap or free is always a bonus. At the same time, I'll be investing a lot of time so I'm not just looking for a temporary solution. Thanks for any help! Multi-series scatter plots http://forums.flowingdata.com/topic/multi-series-scatter-plots#post-1695 Mon, 19 Apr 2010 16:52:23 +0000 andycrellin 1695@http://forums.flowingdata.com/ Hi All, Hopefully others may find an answer to this useful as well! I'm trying to create what is essentially a scatter plot with multiple series, labels etc. A bit like this: <img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4071/4535576111_42bab61155_o.png" /> The main tools I have access to are SAS 9.1, Excel 2007, Processing (although I'd rather not have to code something up from scratch). What would be the best way to tackle this? If it ends up being "Processing" then I'll code up a tool to do it and publish it (if one doesn't already exist) but that'll take me a while! Many thanks for any pointers. Andy.

I whipped something up real fast ( <a href="http://staff.washington.edu/kfor/USCoD.swf" rel="nofollow">http://staff.washington.edu/kfor/USCoD.swf</a> ), and now I'm hooked. But before I devote too much time to learning a new language, I want to make sure I've picked the 'right' one. Flare is of course beautiful, and has a lot of pre-written code specifically for visualizing data that I can borrow from. But it seems to be dead development wise and there don't seem to be any new resources popping up for it. Processing looks like it's easier to learn, but it requires a Java applet which limits who will use it. And there doesn't seem to be as much code that I can just adapt to my own needs, as most of the stuff I've seen is more artistic than data-driven. But it certainly seems to have a more active user community than Flare. I eventually want to create something like the cause of death voyager I posted above, but with the ability to select any country, have inset graphs that show the age pattern of a disease when you hover over the main graph, allow for pulling up multiple countries for comparison, etc. Does anyone have suggestions for which would be the best language for me to learn over Christmas? Also, any links to tutorials or other resources to get started would be great! Thanks Kyle
