Data Visualization in Pixi js (e.g., D3 in Pixi)

[Sein]

Hello Community,

I am working on a Pixi project which is recently involved into a few data visualization.

I was wondering what you suggest as the best library for data visualization (simply drawing a few bar-chart and line graph) in a PIXI canvas.

 

I have already tried D3 js. It was not a good decision at all. Had a lot of difficulty to port what D3 is creating to Pixi, resulted a lot of work and eventually found myself drawing everything in Pixi again. Almost zero success

 

I appreciate your guides or if you refer any relevant example.

 

 

Thanks

I didnt see any data vis for 2d in WebGL at all. I did an attempt, but its only partial. Sorry, in this area, unless you can publish something yourself, you shouldnt expect others to do that ) Its just too difficult to combine webgl and that high-level interfaces.

Bars and chart is here: https://github.com/gameofbombs/pixi-candles , but it lacks necessary API for full vis lib )

Thanks @ivan.popelyshev for sharing the link.
Does that make any sense if I go with using PIXI.BaseTexture.fromCanvas()  method and pass a canvas contains a diagram into it?

As one of possible steps , yes, but you definitely have to understand how it works, otherwise you'll eat too much memory, or get bad subpixel blur, or something else ) The problem is complex
