A video screencast of the Phinch data visualization framework is now available on Vimeo! This narrated walkthrough explains how to prepare files and upload data, and gives a tour of the visualization features currently available (including the ability to export images, share data with collaborators, and download log files).

We’ve also been working hard to expand the GitHub wiki for Phinch (https://github.com/shujianbu/Phinch/wiki) – here you can find screenshots and suggested uses of each visualization, specific instructions on metadata formatting, and full details of our code implementation (libraries used, how to carry out a local installation). Let us know if there’s anything else you’d like to see included in this wiki – and as always, please feel free to report any bugs or feature requests on our GitHub issue tracker.
