InfoViz Geek

###Introduction InfoVizGeek is a project which talks about the different tools and technologies which would enable an individual to create data visualizations. This repo has a vast list of tools along with their licensing available. This is an exhaustive list and I would be glad to accept additional tools which you guys out there in community use.

###Visualization Classification According to my research and understanding till now, I would go ahead and set up a classification of all the visualizations. The visualizations can be broadly classified as follows:-

1. Charts
2. Maps
3. Time Series
4. Flow
5. Matrix
6. Network
7. Hierarchy
8. Infographics
9. Multiple
10. Physical

###Tools & Frameworks We can broadly divide this entire thing into two parts.

1. Talking about Tools that facilitate Visualizations
2. Frameworks that enable an Individual with the language he/she is comfortable in.

###Tools

1. TileMill
2. Spss
3. Matlab
4. Tableau
5. AdobeCS
6. Mathematica
7. Qlik Sense
8. NodeBox
9. Watson-Analytics
10. Instant Atlas
11. Weka
12. yWorks
13. SAS Visual Analytics
14. Visua.ly
15. CartoDB
16. iCharts - Cloud Based Solution
17. iCharts.net - Collaborative visual intelligence
18. Tributary
19. DASHKU
20. Gephi - Open Source Viz Platform
21. Orange
22. Lightning - Open Source Data Visualization Server

###Frameworks based on Programming Languages

1. C
2. IOS
3. JavaScript
4. Java
5. Flash
6. Processing
7. Python
8. Ruby
9. R
