A comment on Perspective: Streaming pivot visualization via WebAssembly. Parent comment

Briefly in the animation I see there's hierachical (or multi-dimensional) data used. Could you tell me about what sort of data (statistics, monitoring) this supports?

Also, what methods are available for getting data streamed [into Perspective]? I'm skimming through the docs, but am not quite getting it...

Right now, you can call a load() or update() method on an engine or widget to pass JSON, CSV or Apache Arrow data (as an ArrayBuffer) to the engine.

Apologize for the documentation clarity - this is our first release and very much under active construction!

Ok, thank you for this. I'll have to see some time about that Arrow support. JSON and CSV is already plenty enough.

I didn't have time for a proper look yet, so no worries. If at all possible post the code and data (or something like it) that is in those animations you have. That would perhaps allow users to dive in by tinkering here and there.
