Set Visualiser is a tool developed to visualise the way that a number of items is classified into one or more categories or sets using Euler diagrams. This approach has the advantage that the visualisation can represent non-hierarchical classifications, in which an item may belong to more than one category. An example visualisation is shown on the right, and a more complex visualisation (based on data extracted from our publications database) is shown at the bottom of the page.
Set Visualiser is freely available - click here to download a .zip file containing the program, an example file, and the manual in PDF form. (Alternatively, you can download the manual separately.) Details of the algorithm are given in an academic paper, currently in preparation.
Set Visualiser is written in Java and uses the following libraries (copies of which are distributed with the program):
- The prefuse information visualisation toolkit
- The Efficient Java Matrix Library
- The FreeHEP vector-graphics library
