Narrated screencast of Phinch now posted online

10,746 Comments

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).

Phinch data visualization framework – screencast and live demo from Holly Bik on Vimeo.

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.
