This is the open source release of Chronoscope, the charting and visualization platform for GWT, used as the centerpiece of Timepedia's website.

Chronoscope's ultimate goals are:

• Scalability: To provide a high performance, cross browser platform for visualizing possibly large and complex datasets.
• Ease of use: To enable applications to be built using either GWT or Javascript
• Scriptability: To allow endusers to create stories around data and share their perspectives with others.
• Customizability: To give non-programmers intuitive controls over almost every aspect of the look of a visualization.
• Extensibility: To encourage easy community extension of Chronoscope features (new plot types, new renderers, new canvas backends, etc)

Timepedia is developing a collaborative time-oriented search engine with analytic and visualization capabilities. Chronoscope is currently structured around our needs but we hope that opening it up to the community will help it become a well-rounded charting framework.

The free version of Chronoscope is distributed under LGPL Version 2.1
