I’m a fan of Open Source technology as well as interesting visualizations… so when I came across this experiment in information visualization on the creation of Open Source applications, I was intrigued.
This visualization, called code_swarm, shows the history of commits (when a developer makes changes to the code or documents) in a software project.
Organic information visualization, coined by Ben Fry, is a different approach to information visualization. It eschews traditional data confinement in space and lets the elements play together in free-form and unpredictable ways.
Have look at the video below, which shows Python’s project evolution.
