AnyMap News and Recap of the Week

July 26th, 2015 by Margaret Skomorokh

Good news, everyone! We are putting finishing touches on the new AnyMap HTML5 engine, along with the new version of AnyChart with an amazing Theming Feature: ability to segregate settings and data once and till the end of times (if you wish to) and switch visual presets on-the-fly. And we are going to show the first demo of AnyStock HTML5 next week too.

Also, some interesting stuff we’ve encountered this week and covered on AnyChart Facebook Page:

We’ve noticed Line Charts in Age of Wonders III and Triumph Studios spotted that we were on the tutorial level.

Two great projects from the UK:

Seeing Data: Making Sense of Data Through Visualisations is a research project which aims to understand how people make sense of data visualisations, the project is headed by Helen Kennedy, Professor of Digital Society at the Department of Sociological Studies, University of Sheffield.
Compound Interest is a site that aims to take a closer look at the chemical compounds we come across on a day-to-day basis. It also provides graphics for educational purposes, both for teacher and student use. The site is run single-handedly by Andy Brunning, a chemistry teacher based in the UK who creates the graphics for the site in his spare time.

Sparks & Associates Chooses AnyChart to Visualize Assessment Results using JavaScript pie chart

July 3rd, 2015 by Margaret Skomorokh

Today we are glad to publish a new customer success story – about AnyChart and Sparks & Associates.

logo_sparks The Actualized Leadership Profile (ALP) is a 77-item self assessment that measures an individual’s dominant motive need and corresponding style of leadership. Based on the seminal works of Abraham Maslow and David McClelland, the ALP measures the degree of self-actualization that is demonstrated in one’s current style of leadership. A customized, full color and confidential report identifies the strengths and limitations in the individual’s current leadership approach.

The challenge was:

To provide a creative and intuitive visualization of personal assessment results.
To create a visualization that accepts result parameters from the system’s existing ASP code.

Solution:

AnyChart JavaScript (HTML5) component was chosen as a solution. The flexibility of the AnyChart.graphics technology allowed to nest several pie charts and create a multi-level JavaScript pie chart not available from other chart vendors.
AnyChart provides the flexibility to use customized background visualizations.
