Google Visualization and SciVee

Last night I was watching a video on Ted.Com and viewed the graphics of the statistics presented from Gapminder.Org. This got me thinking about using the Google Visualization API Gadget Gallery at the Google Gadget Library along with SciVee for video of my research at SciVee. For visualization, here is an example of using data with their Gauge chart.

function drawGauge() {
gaugeData = new google.visualization.DataTable();
gaugeData.addColumn('number', 'Engine');
gaugeData.addColumn('number', 'Torpedo');
gaugeData.addRows(2);
gaugeData.setCell(0, 0, 120);
gaugeData.setCell(0, 1, 80);

gauge = new google.visualization.Gauge(document.getElementById('gauge'));
gaugeOptions = {
min: 0,
max: 280,
yellowFrom: 200,
yellowTo: 250,
redFrom: 250,
redTo: 280,
minorTicks: 5
};
gauge.draw(gaugeData, gaugeOptions);
}

function changeTemp(dir) {
gaugeData.setValue(0, 0, gaugeData.getValue(0, 0) + dir * 25);
gaugeData.setValue(0, 1, gaugeData.getValue(0, 1) + dir * 20);
gauge.draw(gaugeData, gaugeOptions);
}

at in the AJAX API Playground . A Test page for working on these Gadgets is at The Cromwell Workshop .

SciVee permits uploading video with scientific publications through the creation of a PubCast. Here you

  1. Create the Video for Your Paper
  2. Upload Your Paper and Video
  3. Sync Images and Paper to Video
  4. Review your Work and Inform co-authors
  5. Publish Your Pubcast

Furthermore, you can upload your publication to PubMed ID/DOI. There are some interesting videos on SciVee Videos .

Putting these two vehicles together further enhances both the publication and understanding of scientific collaboration.
