Data Visualization, Charting
Data Visualization:
The set of techniques used to turn a set of data into visual insight. It aims to give the data a meaningful representation by exploiting the powerful discerning capabilities of the human eye. The data is displayed as 2D or 3D images using techniques such as colorization, 3D imaging, animation and spatial annotation to create an instant understanding from multi-variable data.

GraXML
GraXML is a Geometric Modeller for handling HEP experiments' Detector Description and Event data. It containes full 3D visualisation of the managed elements. It uses Java3D to create, render and manipulate SceneGraph. Its main source of data comes through XML files, where each Schema represents one Generic Model. Such Generic Model is then a source for the GraXML Geometric Model. Direct access (without XML files) is possible too.
GraXML Toolkit provides a foundation for operations on 3D objects (detector elements, events,...). Each external source of 3D data is automaticaly translated into Generic Model which is then analysed and translated into Geometric Model using GraXML modules. The construction of this Geometric Model is parametrised by several parameters (optimisation level, quality level, ...) so that it can be used in applications with different requirements. Geometric Model can be then directly used via thin user applcations. Two visualisation applications are provided in the GraXML Toolkit: GraXML Interactive Display and GraXML Converter into various geometry formats. Other applications can be easily developed.
GraXML (in graphical mode) offers full functionality for browsing and manipulating 3D data. All the standard User Requirements functionality for 3D display is available:
