Acho Viz Roadmap

Why build acho-viz? There are plenty of visualization libraries that serve plug-n-play charts. acho-viz will provide this functionality but it utltimately should provide a way for user's to build or define their own charts.

Below I've outlined a high-level phase plan; hopefully this helps articulate the vision for acho-viz.

Phase I - Basic Charting Library Functionality Phase II - Advanced Charting Library Functionality Phase III - User defined charts via acho-viz api or d3 api

Requirements Roadmap

acho-viz is not production ready. Requirements that must be completed before a release candidate are marked with a 🔵.

1. Better support for different data scales/series 🔵

• At this time, the charts primarily consume data that is oriented in either linear form or categorical form without much programmatic flexibility.
• For example, the bar chart class assumes that the values associated with the x-axis are categories and the y-axis values are numerical.
• But if you wanted the bar chart to consume 'time series' data you would have to manually perform some pre-processing on the data and manually configure the axis scales. This isn't exactly ideal (in terms of usability), so there should be a more high-level way to automatically parse the data and configure the axis but this has yet to be designed.

2. Support for chart style customizations 🔵

• User should be able to customize things such as line colors and border widths.
• There is a proof of concept implemented for this but an elegant solution is yet to be designed.

3. Support for chart animations 🔵

4. Better responsiveness 🔵

• When a chart instance's parent container is resized, the chart should also adhere to the parent's dimensions.

5. Better tooltip support 🔵

• There is a proof of concept version for this integrated into the bar chart class but a more desirable solution has yet to be prioritized.

6. Add more advanced chart support

• Such as maps, multi-line charts, horizontal bar charts, etc.

7. Expose an api that serves as a d3-api wrapper or fully expose the d3-api.

• This would allow users to build or define their own charts and advanced visualizations.

8. Support rendering charts on svg AND canvas
