VisuAlFroG is a framework that provides various visualizations to support visual analytics for the algorithmic modelling software Grasshopper. Grasshopper for its part is a plug-in of the commercial 3D computer graphics and computer-aided design application software Rhinoceros (short Rhino3D). The basic architecture of VisuAlFroG consists of a core framework providing general functionality and a module-based extension mechanism that easily allows to integrate new visualizations. New custom visualizations can be based on the following existing visualization libraries: WPF, SciChart, d3.js, and Bokeh. Predefined standard visualizations like Scatter Plot, Line Chart, Column/Bar Chart, and Parallel Coordinates Plot (PCP) are already provided based on the SciChart library.
- The Installation Guide provides useful information on how to build from source code and how to install the binary files to be used in Grasshopper.
- The Developer Guide provides detailed information on how to add custom visualizations, for example.
