ABOUT

The Data Visualiser is a powerful and versatile tool suite that contains a large number of algorithms, tools, and modules. It is used to deliver interactive, dynamic, and visual dashboards and user interfaces to all other Enerweb products. These dashboards and interfaces are primarily built using the R Shiny framework, which is part of the R programming language, and allows for the creation of interactive web and mobile applications.

The Data Visualiser serves as a type of 'library', offering a collection of pre-written code that can be used and reused to perform common tasks. It simplifies complex functions into simple methods that can easily be used by data scientists. It reduces the amount of code required to produce outputs, and manages interactive features on websites or mobile applications. This efficiency can significantly reduce the time and cost associated with building and maintaining front-ends.

The product supports an extensive range of plugins, adapters, and external interfaces, allowing users to add even more functionality to their websites without starting from scratch.

Its ease of use, power, and flexibility make it an indispensable tool for UI design and deployment.

At the core of the framework are various components that distill down to a graphical user interface (GUI) definition and a server-side component. The user interface defines how the functionality and features will look and feel to the users, arranging inputs such as maps, buttons, or sliders, and outputs such as plots, animating maps, and interactive tables for user interaction.

Reactivity is a fundamental component of these technologies. It enables automatic updates of the output when any input changes, eliminating the need for manual coding, as the framework takes care of it automatically. This ensures that the charts and interfaces stay up to date and responsive.

The tool set creates robust and interactive charts for websites and Enerweb product front-ends. It empowers data scientists to create professional-grade interactive charts almost instantaneously without requiring extensive knowledge of web programming languages such as HTML, CSS, or JavaScript.

These interactive charts are built using JavaScript, one of the core programming languages of the web. JavaScript is embedded within the Enerweb application, and is responsible for processing data and manipulating the Document Object Model (DOM) to create and control the visuals on the page.

The Data Visualiser offers a wide variety of chart types, including line, bar, pie, scatter, and more. It allows users to fully customise the appearance, interactivity, and functionality of their charts to meet specific requirements. The charts are dynamic, meaning that the data in the chart can be updated in real time. This real-time data update capability makes the charts highly interactive, allowing users to hover over data points for more details, click to drill down, zoom in and out, and even download the chart as an image or data file.

In a nutshell, Data Visualiser apps are powerful tools for business people in the electricity industry. They provide real-time, interactive, and visual insights that aid in making informed decisions.

The ease of use, power, and flexibility of the tool suite help businesses build powerful, interactive, and reliable interfaces more quickly and with less effort.
