Visualization toolkit software

Information visualization is a discipline that takes data as an input and produces visual representations of that data in a form that can be readily understood by people. The overall goal of a Visualization Toolkit is to provide a library that can be used by professionals to construct appropriate visualizations so as to allow their data to be understood and used in decision-making. This article defines the major components of a visualization toolkit and provides details on how they can be implemented and the consequences and restrictions imposed by those decisions.
