Enormous quantities of data go unused or underused today, simply because people can't visualize the quantities and relationships in it. Using a downloadable programming environment developed by the author, Visualizing Data demonstrates methods for representing data accurately on the Web and elsewhere, complete with user interaction, animation, and more.

How do the 3.1 billion A, C, G and T letters of the human genome compare to those of a chimp or a mouse? What do the paths that millions of visitors take through a web site look like? With Visualizing Data, you learn how to answer complex questions like these with thoroughly interactive displays. We're not talking about cookie-cutter charts and graphs. This book teaches you how to design entire interfaces around large, complex data sets with the help of a powerful new design and prototyping tool called "Processing."

Used by many researchers and companies to convey specific data in a clear and understandable manner, the Processing beta is available free. With this tool and Visualizing Data as a guide, you'll learn basic visualization principles, how to choose the right kind of display for your purposes, and how to provide interactive features that will bring users to your site over and over. This book teaches you:

  • The seven stages of visualizing data -- acquire, parse, filter, mine, represent, refine, and interact
  • How all data problems begin with a question and end with a narrative construct that provides a clear answer without extraneous details
  • Several example projects with the code to make them work
  • Positive and negative points of each representation discussed. The focus is on customization so that each one best suits what you want to convey about your data set
The book does not provide ready-made "visualizations" that can be plugged into any data set. Instead, with chapters divided by types of data rather than types of display, you'll learn how each visualization conveys the unique properties of the data it represents -- why the data was collected, what's interesting about it, and what stories it can tell. Visualizing Data teaches you how to answer questions, not simply display information.

A Versatile and Elegant Solution for Room Separation
I recently purchased the GOFLAME 8 Panel Room Divider, and I'm thoroughly impressed with its quality and design. This room divider is not only a decorative element, but it also provides a practical solution for creating distinct areas within a room. Here's why I'm giving it a 5-star review: Enhanced Privacy Space: The 6 ft tall room divider is perfect for creating a private space within a larger room. It's ideal for my home office, and I can use it to separate my workspace from the rest of the room. The screen also creates a cozy and intimate atmosphere, making it perfect for relaxing or reading. Hand-woven Texture: The unique hand-woven texture of the room divider adds an element of sophistication and warmth to my room. The intricate craftsmanship is impressive, and it exudes artisanal charm. I love the way it looks, and it's become a conversation piece in my home. Built with Strength: The solid wood frame is sturdy and well-constructed, providing reliable support for the room divider. I'm impressed by the attention to detail and the quality of the materials used. Foldable Design and Easy Storage: The foldable design of the room divider makes it easy to store when not in use. I can simply fold the panels flat and store them away, which is convenient and space-saving. The metal hinges that connect the panels are also sturdy and well-made. No Assembly Required: I was pleasantly surprised to find that the room divider requires no assembly. I simply took it out of the box and set it up, and it was ready to use. The smooth woven surface is also easy to clean and maintain. Overall Impression: I'm thoroughly impressed with the GOFLAME 8 Panel Room Divider. It's a stylish and functional solution for creating a private space within a larger room. The hand-woven texture and solid wood frame add an element of sophistication and warmth, and the foldable design makes it easy to store. I

Unable to see through it and no gap at bottom!
Size: 2-Panel, Size: 2-Panel
Used to divide a large upstairs common area and it’s perfect. Needed something that was tall enough to give privacy, but wouldn’t hit the ceiling fan. It’s just over 6ft tall, you can’t see through it and it goes almost all the way to floor, something that was difficult to find with similar products. It is a bit flimsy on the ends and needs some support to stay in place (our ceiling is slanted so it actually hit the slant perfectly and doesn’t move on one end and I put a small hook in the wall for the other end so that it could be moved if needed). Overall it’s great quality and gives the feeling of a separate area/private room.

Convenient, sturdy and worth the price
Size: 6-Panel, Size: 6-Panel
Exactly what I wanted. Yes, it took some time to put it together and at first, I was concerned about the sturdiness of it. However, once it all came together I am very happy with my purchase. It’s now stable but easily movable. It easily folds for storage. One of the ends readily folds in a single panel so I will be able to use it as an access door. Instructions were fairly straightforward, but takes a while to put it all together. (About an hour and a half ) but quality seems good and well worth the price
