| Abstract: |
The table analysis application TOPCAT uses a custom
Java plotting library for highly configurable
high-performance interactive or exported visualisations
in two and three dimensions.
We present here a variety of ways for end users or application developers
to make use of this library outside of the TOPCAT application:
via the command-line suite STILTS or its Jython variant JyStilts,
via a traditional Java API, or by programmatically assigning
values to a set of parameters in java code or using some form of
inter-process communication.
The library has been built with large datasets in mind;
interactive plots scale well up to several million points,
and static output to standard graphics formats is possible for
unlimited sized input data. |
