This week (as always) we have shared on AnyChart Facebook Page and Twitter some interesting information on data visualization and programming:
- Travel Dashboard – A Look Back at Recent Trends. Wherever travelers go, they’re online. Whether planning a trip, navigating a new city, or sharing vacation memories, they turn to the web, using whatever device is at hand. This has completely reshaped the path to purchase, creating many moments of intent. The Google data in this dashboard provides a glimpse into these moments.
- Eve is a set of tools that may help you think. Currently, Eve includes a database, a temporal logic query language, and an IDE. See this tutorial below to walk through the features of Eve.
- Check out these beautiful visualizations of poems, created by German data artist Diana Lange (See more here.)
- A Matter of Perspective – What happens if you cut the shoreline of a lake and unfurl it? See it for yourself!

Overview
The Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) is a graphical widget toolkit for use with the Java platform. It was originally developed by Stephen Northover at IBM and is now maintained by the Eclipse Foundation in tandem with the Eclipse IDE. It is an alternative to the Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) and Swing Java GUI toolkits provided by Oracle as part of the Java Platform.
We have created a basic sample to show how you can work with AnyChart in an SWT application.
Contents and Launching
The sample file (click to download) contains the ‘src’ folder with the source code and the ‘jar’ file. You can run the file using the java -jar <jar_file_name> command.
In Mac OS X you can launch the sample like this:
java -XstartOnFirstThread -jar anychart-java-example.jar
In Windows you can do that like this:
java -jar anychart-java-example.jar
Description
This sample shows a basic chart with five points. It listens for the chart draw and point hover events, and logs them into the textArea on the page; anychart.min.js is loaded from AnyChart CDN.
The ‘Add Random Point’ button keeps adding random points until the total point count is 20 and after then removes one point before adding a new one.
Source code is rather simple and self-descriptive, and there are only two things you should look at:
The static String myScript variable defines what script is executed when button is clicked;
The static String createHTML() method generates HTML and puts it into the browser window.

Later we will extend the sample, add more features, and show how to achieve more with AnyChart in Java environment. We also have a number of other samples coming up.
