Radian is a JavaScript library for producing interactive SVG plots in HTML using Angular JS and D3.js. Using Angular directives leads to a clear and declarative API for representing plots that can respond to UI elements via Angular data binding.
Documentation is on the website (some technical documentation is also on the wiki.)
Radian uses a very simple setup for building: there is a single
Makefile in the root directory of the repository which concatenates
all the Radian library source into a single radian.js
, then minifies
this (using UglifyJS) to make a radian.min.js
.
In order to use Radian in an HTML page, you need to include one or the
other of the radian.js
or radian.min.js
scripts, along with the
radian.css
stylesheet and a small number of dependencies, versions
of which are included in the lib
directory of the repository:
jquery.js
: the main jQuery libraryjquery.csv.js
: a CSV parser librarybootstrap.js
: Javascript for the Bootstrap framework (used for some UI elements)escodegen.browser.js
: a library for generating Javascript code from Mozilla's SpiderMonkey abstract syntax tree descriptiond3.v2.js
: the D3.js plotting library, on which Radian is basedangular.js
: the AngularJS framework
The versions of these libraries in the lib
directory are known to
work, but more recent versions may also be fine.
To get an idea of how to set up a page to use Radian, you can take a look at the index page for the Radian examples.
