"Flare": "Flash"-Bibliothek für Visualisierung und Animation

Graphen, Charts, Animationen, Tree Maps und dergleichen mehr soll die neue kosenlose Open Source "ActionScript"-Bibliothek "Flare" (derzeit noch im "Alpha"-Stadium) in "FlexBuilder" (oder "Adobe Flash Builder", so der neue Name) stark vereinfachen.

Die Macher: "Flare is an ActionScript library for creating visualizations that run in the Adobe Flash Player. From basic charts and graphs to complex interactive graphics, the toolkit supports data management, visual encoding, animation, and interaction techniques. Even better, flare features a modular design that lets developers create customized visualization techniques without having to reinvent the wheel.

View the demos and sample applications to see a few of the visualizations that flare makes it easy to build.

To begin making your own visualizations, download flare and work through the tutorial. You should also get familiar with the API documentation. Need more help? Visit the help forum (you'll need a SourceForge login to post).

Flare is open-source software released under a BSD license, meaning it can be freely deployed and modified (and even sold for $$). Flare's design was adapted from its predecessor prefuse, a visualization toolkit for Java."
