Open Source Data Visualization Software

FractalNow provides users with tools to generate pictures of various types of fractals quickly and easily. It is made of both a command line tool, FractalNow, and a graphical tool, QFractalNow. The graphical tool, based on Qt library, allows users to explore fractals intuitively and generate pictures. Both tools are entirely multi-threaded and implement advanced algorithms and heuristics that make computation very fast compared to most existing free fractal generators.

Hypercube is a tool for visualizing DOT (graphviz), GML, GraphML, GXL and simple text-based graph representations as SVG and EPS images. Hypercube comes with a Qt based GUI application and a Qt-independent command-line tool. It uses a simulated annealing algorithm to lay out the graph, that can be easily parameterized to achieve the desired look. The main development goals are portability and easy usage rather than high performance and complexity.

A command line tool for generating timing diagrams from ASCII input files. The input files use a structured language to represent signal state transitions and interdependencies. Raster image output support is provided by ImageMagick.

Dynagraph is a cross-platform library and command-line tool for dynamically drawing graphs (networks, flowcharts, family trees, etc.) in reponse to continual modifications. Included are DynaDAG for directed graphs and FDP force-directed placement.

ADOMA stands for: Alternative Display Of Multiple Alignment. ADOMA can create four different displays of a multiple sequence alignment: a ClustalW alignment in HTML format, a simplified ClustalW alignment in HTML and/or txt format and a colored ClustalW alignment in HTML format. For examples of these outputfiles check the screenshots. ADOMA uses ClustalW to create the multiple alignment from DNA or protein sequences and displays them slightly different than the normal output of ClustalW. ADOMA is a commandline program that can easily be used in pipelines. For more information check the README.md in the Files section. How to cite ADOMA: Zaal, D. and Nota, B.

A command-line tool for applying the continuous wavelet transform with respect to predefined wavelets to sampled data.

Image Tapestry is a command-line tool that concatenate multiple images to a single image.

IntiMap is a convenience tool to run the MS-DOS command-line tool MapPop for selective genotyping. It adds facilities to prepare genotyping data files, manage genotype sets and visualize mapping results (genetic marker maps).

Python library and command line tool to generate maps in PDF format an place objects on them.

Sloth is a native Mac app that shows all open files and sockets in use by all running processes on your system. This makes it easy to inspect which apps are using which files and sockets. View all open files, directories, IP sockets, devices, Unix domain sockets and pipes. Filter by name, access mode, volume, type, location, or using regular expressions. Sort by name, process ID, user ID, process type, bundle identifier, etc. Sloth is essentially a friendly, exploratory GUI built on top of the lsof command line tool. The output is parsed and shown in a searchable, filterable outline view with all sorts of convenient additional functionality. Sloth is free, open source software and now has a home on GitHub. It has been continuously developed and maintained for a very long time (since 2004). Inspection window with detailed macOS and Unix file/socket/process info.

pepper is a command-line tool for retrieving statistics and generating reports from source code repositories. It ships with several graphical and textual reports, and is easily extendable using the Lua scripting language.

zimg generates png / jpeg images from arbitrary formatted 2-D ascii or binary data. zimg is a command line tool and suitable for rendering large amounts of 2-D data. zimg is highly configurable via command line switches and dynamically loadable objects.
