About

This Web-based 3D scatter plot allows researchers and data scientists to explore large, complex data sets and communicate their findings over the Internet through an interactive visualization.

This JavaScipt+WebGL program allows for a variety of special effects that researchers can use to highlight regions or observations within a data set.

Data format:

  • The first row contains the graph title.
  • Column labels are on the second row, followed by between 1 and 30,000 observations.
  • Use two colons – "::" – to separate the values, and end each row with a semicolon.
  • The format must exactly follow the default data set.
  • Each data point has the following values:
Label A name for the data point.
X Value for the X axis.
Y Value for the Y axis.
Z Value for the Z axis.
Color Relative color of the data point. (This is often the Z value.)
Size Relative size of the data point. (A number from 1 to 50.)
Group Up to 6 groupings are allowed. Groups can be denoted by numbers – such as 1 to 6 – or by text labels such as "Group A" or "Sector: B."
 Transparency  A value between 0.0 and 1.0, with 1.0 being fully opaque. The point will cycle between this transparency level and fully opaque.
Blink Rate A value from 0.0 (no blinking) to 1.0, indicating a blink rate.
Jitter A value between 0.0 (no shake) and 1.0 (large shaking).
Stripe Either 0 (a solid color) or 1 (add stripes to the data point).
Expand/Contract A value from 0.0 (the point remains a constant size) to 1.0 (the point expands and contracts in size).
