It was originally designed and developed by the <a href="http://www.icm.edu.pl">Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling</a> (ICM) at the University of Warsaw for over a decade. </p> <p>Since 2020 VisNow development made a step towards the open-source community and is now developed by the <a href="https://visnow.org"><strong>visnow.org</strong></a> association, still with significant contribution from ICM and the original VisNow team!</p> <p>On this web page, you can find VisNow extensions and applications developed by the ICM that do not contribute to visnow.org projects, as well as some legacy materials and old VisNow releases. </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>About VisNow</strong></p> <p>VisNow is a modular data flow driven platform enabling users to create schemes for data visualization, visual analysis, data processing, and simple simulations. Motivated by the 'Read and Watch' idea, VisNow shows the data as soon and fast as possible giving further opportunity for processing and more in-depth visualization. In a few steps, it can create professional images and movies as well as discover unknown information hidden in datasets.</p> <p>VisNow, not trying to be yet another visualization tool, is targeted at overcoming the drawbacks of other similar software platforms. It is subject to the following keynotes:</p> <ul> <li>Clear and legible desktop</li> <li>Network creation support</li> <li>Multifunctional modules</li> <li>Module-Object-Interface connection</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>Acknowledgements</strong></p> <p>VisNow development was partially supported by <a href="http://ocean.icm.edu.pl/en">"OCEAN - Open Centre for Data Analysis"</a> project, co-funded within the European Regional Development Fund under the Innovative Economy Operational Programme</p> <center><img src="/images/stopka_ENG_100.png" alt="" width="90%" /></center> </div> </div> </div> <section id="news_container" > <header>News</header> <div class="mod-newsflash-adv mod-newsflash-adv__"> <div class=" item item_num0 item__module "> <!-- Intro Image --> <div class="item_content"> <!-- Item title --> <h4 class="item_title item_title__"> <a href="/index.php/blog/33-visnow-v1-4-0-available"> VisNow v1.4.0 available</a> </h4> <div class="item_published"> Thursday, 29 October 2020 </div> <!-- Introtext --> <div class="item_introtext"><p><img style="width: 60px;" src="/images/logo_icon_512_outline.png" alt="" />VisNow v1.4.0 is available for download NOW!
