IVIS: Interactive VISualisation of your data

IVIS is an open-source chart editor for interactive visualisation. It uses jQuery and HighCharts as the backbone. It works purely on the client side, and all data will be processed locally only.

Make Your Own Interactive Chart

You can generate various types of intreactive charts using IVIS with your own data:

Dot / Scatter plot: X as names and Y holding one or more values
2D Scatter (XY Plot) using X-Y paird values, such as volcano plot, MA plot, 2D PCA, correlation chart, and standard curve
3D Scatter plot XYZ data
Bar / Column chart: single or grouped data
Line chart: multiple series can be plotted
Pie chart: in 2D or 3D
Heatmap: quick overview of many data points

How to interact with the chart:

There are tooltips showing X, Y and/or series name whenever you move your mouse over the data
You can zoom in at any area to see details, the X/Y scales will change accordingly
Each data point can be linked to any external file or webpage, which saves you a huge amount of manual query effort
You can hide / show certain series
You can print or download the chart in various formats, including PDF, PNG, JPEG and SVG at publication resolution
You can configure the editor to fit your own needs (requires knowledge in JavaScript and HTML/CSS)
The chart is responsive, you can even make your chart on your mobile phone or tablet

To start with, you can use the sample data for each chart type. The chart will have the popular ggplot2 style (them by Joshua Kunst).

==> Check out the examples.

Input data

IVIS directly takes user input data (just copy and paste into the input box). Data can be comma-, tab-, or space-separated values, and the header is required. There is also a function to swape the rows and columns for charting.

Point link prefix

When you visualise large dataset (e.g., RNA-seq differential expression analysis), very often you will have just IDs in the data. When there are some interesting patterns in the chart, you migh want to get more information about that ID from various databases, for instance GeneDB, WormBase, Ensembl, or GenBank. You can customise the link according to your needs. Here are some examples:

http://www.genedb.org/gene/
http://parasite.wormbase.org/Schistosoma_mansoni_prjea36577/Gene/Summary?g=
http://www.ensembl.org/Multi/Search/Results?q=

Export to HTML

You can export the chart data in HTML for interactive presentation.
