Question

I'm making a Flex application to visualize the contents of an XML file in a tree, radial diagram, etc... I looked all over the internet and I can't find any useful tutorials or source code on how to do this. Most existing components on the web have licensing issues with them, so I prefer to write some sort of XML visualization algorithm from scratch.

An example I found was ScienceLogic. This is very similar to what I am trying to do.

Any help on how I can write an XML/data visualizer in Flex/Flash? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT: The visualizer should make something like a hierarchy diagram, like so:

SERVER 1
  -Unit 1
  -Unit 2
     -Unit 3
  -Unit 4

Think of a network with servers and routers and computers - and you want to put that in a web or diagram.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Try Flare. Take a look at their demo for radial layouts, that might be what you're looking for, though it's not as glamorous as ScienceLogic, it is free.

OTHER TIPS

Axiis is another visualization framework based off Degrafa. Very nice. That and Flare are the best open solutions I've seen to date.
