[INUG-Users] Any good tool instead of reporter?

[douglasstvnsn at aol.com]

 I have a graph mechanism that I've prototyped in VRML that uses a "plane" around a cylinder of center points..

I segment the cylinder and the planes of the graph according to a time domain... Like a 24 hour clock.

For zero I use a minimum distance from the center of the plane and for a maximum value, I pick the maximum radius for the graph.

I then transpose the points of each time series at its time slice and its radius.

I have displayed the graph using cylinders done point to point but I could also display this as an indexed face set.

When you stack the planes and put the viewer in examine mode, you can truly examine a graph of various data points as a Stack of sorts. ?  


 
If I overlay a semi-transparent Cylinder on top of the graphs, I get a real nice to visualize thresholds.? And one could invert the graph planes making the minimum value the outer radius.

The other, very interesting piece is that you can DYNAMICALLY CHANGE the behavior of the elements.? For example, I could color code the segments to represent different levels of comparing data. Or I could automate things and put in sequences of animation corresponding to whatever data I want.? For example, I could use an animation to update? digital clock display and play back a sequence corresponding to the clock.? In doing so, I can change color, size and even position of elements... Elements including camera angle, lighting, and different shapes.

Dougie!!!

Since my first job at DARPA in 1987 (we were doing VoIP in 1990), the
production of graphs for management and customers who can't interpret
them has been an ever present bane of my existence. What we need is
similar to the Visualizations (visual effects cast against your music
selection) function of windows Media Player. 'Yes I'd like to apply
the "Ambience Swirl" against this interface utilization data. Wow,
that is good !'
