The University of Edinburgh is running an open workshop to help visualize your networks with The Vistorian. The Vistorian is an application that provides a set of interactive network visualizations (node-link diagram, matrix, timeline, and map) to visualize geographical, temporal, and multivariate networks. No coding or download is required. The Vistorian runs in your web browser with your data stored securely on your machine.

The tutorial is aimed for everyone wanting to visualize and visually explore complex network data. The Vistorian can help with geographic, temporal and multivariate networks. There is a size limit of around 1000 links for the time being.

The Vistorian is tool created in close relationship with our research in data visualization and aims to both provide novel and powerful visualizations for complex networks and help making these visualizations more accessible. We are keen to learn from your experience and improve our tool.

Our tutorial is build around the following parts and will run on June 3rd, with optional Q&A and drop-in sessions over the summer.

How does the Vistorian handle my data?

While The Vistorian is a web application, i.e., it runs in your browser, your data will remain on your machine and will not be transmitted to any other machine. Consequently, you do not need any login but also you cannot share your visualizations with colleagues.

Are you gathering any usage data?

As part of our ongoing research, we anonymously track your usage and analyze these usage data. This does not include your network data. More information can be found on our research page.
