Chronorama

Chronorama is a visualization tool for 2D time series.

---

Getting started

Requirements

• Elixir >= 1.6

• Elm == 0.18

Installation

Chronorama is not packaged yet, so for now you should either clone or download this repository.

Running

Chronorama requires the input to be in a specific format:

• each line represents one time-step

• on each line, points are numbers seperated by a space

For example, a correct input looks like this:

0.5 0.5 10 10
1.0 1.0 11 11

Chronorama gets its input from stdin and the output is seen from the browser at http://localhost:8899.

Example: running Chronorama with recorded data.

Here we assume that the file data.txt contains valid data for Chronorama.

cat data.txt | make serve

Check http://localhost:8899 for the visualization.

Example: attaching Chronorama to a simulation

Here we assume that the python script sim-sincos.py generates valid data on stdout.

python -u scripts/sim-sincos.py | make serve

Check http://localhost:8899 for the visualization.

Planned features

• ❏ UI: WebGL backend (at least try to see if we get performance improvements)

• ❏ UI: change settings (like artifical delay, canvas size, …)

• ❏ UI: activity histograms (temporal and spatial)

• ❏ server: play, pause, backward, forward
