Thinkmap Inc., a provider of visualization software, has released version 2.7 of its flagship visualization technology product, the Thinkmap SDK (Software Development Kit). The SDK is a full-featured application designed to enable developers to create visualization applications such as Thinkmap's Visual Thesaurus. These visualizations are used in financial services, government, education, and other industries, designed to help end-users navigate and understand relationships in large data sets.
The Thinkmap SDK provides a toolset designed to allow developers to create applications for representing and navigating complex data sets. Thinkmap works with multiple data sources (XML, SQL, and Flat File Data) to present multiple views of the same data simultaneously, as well as incorporate multiple data sources into one visual interface. The Thinkmap SDK provides components for visual look and layout, behavior of the visualization, and data access and control. Several pre-configured visualizations are available to choose from; users can try different views of the same data. In addition, tutorials, a complete set of examples, and a library of interface elements are available to assist developers. Thinkmap SDK is sold in three editions: Standard, Professional, and Enterprise. Prices start at $10,000. The product can be purchased direct at the Thinkmap website.
