Datastripes implemented with HTML5 canvas
The core idea of datastripes comes from Ramana Rao's Table Lens. Back in 2003 I implemented a version in C++ for the then-current Mac OS, but that hasn't worked for several years. More recently I reimplemented datastripes in javascript with d3.js. This latest incarnation, still in javascript, uses HTML5 Canvas.
