impulse BIRT

impulse Workbench extension
BIRT is an open source technology platform used to create data visualizations and reports, which can be embedded into rich client and web applications.

This extension includes bar, pie, line and radar charts. It supports the "Birt Script Extension" mechanism (see the book entitled, "Integrating and Extending BIRT").

You can display:

  • Numeric Signals (Integer and Float) – The graph displays any numeric change;
  • Struct Signals – The graph shows each numeric element of multiple structural values (like a table);
  • Any other signal by using script production to analyze the source signal and prepare structural data for the graph.

Visualization of Tabular Data Using Standard Diagrams

Tabular signal data (e.g., from CSV or the pattern log reader) can be visualized straight away with Birt Charts.

Derivation and Display of Statistical Information

Use signal scripts to validate any signal data and extract statistical data (in tabular form). This extracted data can then be displayed with BIRT Charts.

Definition of New Charts Using Existing Basic Types

impulse is supplied with a standard set of diagrams. You can derive new specific diagrams using scripts and settings to meet your needs.

Bar Chart

A bar chart is a graph that represents categorical data with rectangular bars whose heights or lengths are proportional to the values they represent.

Pie/Donut Chart

A pie chart is a circular statistical graph that is divided into layers to illustrate the numeric portion.

Line Chart

A line graph is a graph that displays information as a series of data points connected by straight line segments.

Radar Chart

A radar chart is a graphical method of displaying multivariate data in the form of a two-dimensional diagram of three or more quantitative variables displayed on axes from the same point.
