K Data Grid

One day I was surfing the web in search of new useful, interesting or just fun sites. Among others, I came across a resource. I will not give its URL to not be accused of promoting-cons or hidden advertising. I can only say that the majority content of the site consisted of a variety of statistics about everything on the Earth. The larger animals, the most successful films, the longest of the buildings, search terms above and so on and so forth The information presented appears to be quite structured. It was divided into special categories as the animal world, human actions. IT facts so separate that each record has been given in the form of so-called Top 10. But I I am completely lost in the abundance of information. The reason is simple. There was nothing to attract my attention. Of Words, words and the words just depressed me. And I left the site if the information was really interesting for me.

Some time later I started thinking about the role of visualization in our collection site.
It is well known that the majority of information we receive comes to our mind by the image. The speed of visual perception data and the adoption is much higher than in the case of a plain text. No matter how unique is the content, the plain of census figures, without appropriate support image usually causes irritation and a desire to get rid of the annoying factor. At the same time, even the small map or diagram can turn around the situation. So how this fact can be used to make people come, stay and before any return to your website?

For example, consider the websites of many banks, investment companies and financial companies. Under the conditions of the developing crisis, they are obliged to fight for every customer or potential. So why not represent data so essential to the infinite economic and financial indices, rate and values as a bar graph or histogram? They will view the whole image to clients and provide opportunities for analysis improved data quality.

The main goal of data visualization is to communicate information, but more efficient, clear and obvious way is just text. Today we have many tools to display data on the site. The best way to go data supplied to the content of the site in the beautiful and attractive way is to use the flash components. Most of them requires no installation, working with data most scripting languages running on many browsers and support dynamic update Due to support XML. Variety of colors, types of graphics and interactivity make wonderful tool to create completely tunable and scalable graphics and animated graphics.

Today, we could find plenty of flash cards and components for the graphic display appropriate data. We can mention some of them.

In fact, the list is almost endless and it sure can be added with tools such as SWF graphics / XML amCharts, AnyChart, Google Chart API, etc.

In addition to interactive maps to display statistics and accurate figures Site can be enhanced by different graphs, charts and diagrams org. There are separate tools to implement this option, as

Origramy Flash Graph Component or Gliffy.

Using one of these tools are certainly taken the attention visitors and make them feel and understand what lies behind the numbers and not leave the site of that fact.
