July 5, 2010 at 11:39PivotViewer Element Overview for Silverlight
dedicated to fans of the 2010 World Cup
Not so long ago, I wrote about the publication of the Pivot data browser . The other day there was its version for Silverlight - PivotViewer. In this article I will try to give a small overview of the technology.
PivotViewer is a silverlight implementation of the Pivot browser , introduced long ago by the Live Labs lab. Watch the following video to introduce browser capabilities:
The Pivot browser was written in WPF and the obvious step was the appearance of its silverlight version, with the ability to embed in web pages. Pivot uses SeaDragon technology, which is used in Silverlight DeepZoom and is used to dynamically display a huge amount of visual data without delay.
In order to start working with PivotViewer and yourself on sites, it would be nice to get acquainted with examples of use that have already begun to appear.
The most relevant example is the World Cup Pivot , which is information about the teams playing in the 2010 World Cup. You can study the information in various sections and include a lot of filters, apply various sortings and groupings of data. Give it a try!
No less interesting is the following example - the site tweet pivot . On it, you can visualize your followers or those you follow and view this visualization in all possible sections using the power of PivotViewer. For example, you can select all of your followers from Ukraine and see them all in one list.
Best of all, the site will demonstrate the following video:
Another interesting project is the site for finding venues for wedding events, which PivotViewer has introduced to navigate its proposals. It turned out very handy!
The latest example is the on-demand video provider database , Netflix. You can sort and select films by a variety of parameters, for each an annotation with useful information is available.
I think there are more than enough examples. PivotViewer gives sites the ability to display data in a new way, offering users a completely new experience in working with information.
You can gain knowledge to start working with the new control element on the official page of the project. Here you will find a video demonstrating how the tool works and how it works.
Also, check out the detailed description for developers at this address . This guide describes how to create pivot collections.
You can discuss technology with developers and other users on the technology forum .
And finally, you can download the control from the Microsoft website using this link .
To familiarize yourself with the technology, you can additionally see the following materials:
PivotViewer is a new word in the presentation of data on the web. In the following articles we will consider building our Pivot collection from scratch. You can try the technology yourself as a developer or as a user using the links provided in this article.
