Abstract

Summary: The Unipept Visualizations library is a JavaScript package to generate interactive visualizations of both hierarchical and non-hierarchical quantitative data. It provides four different visualizations: a sunburst, a treemap, a treeview and a heatmap. Every visualization is fully configurable, supports TypeScript and uses the excellent D3.js library.

Availability and implementation: The Unipept Visualizations library is available for download on NPM: https://npmjs.com/unipept-visualizations. All source code is freely available from GitHub under the MIT license: https://github.com/unipept/unipept-visualizations.
