The data visualization api is a module that allows site builders to create, import & store data visualizations as entities and their data as standardized JSON. A user can then choose which installed data visualization library to use when rendering each data visualization entity.
All data is stored in a standardized format called Vizstruct. The spec for this specified JSON can be found here.
So far three adapters have been written to connect the Data Visualization API to individual rendering libraries. The adapter for Highcharts, JIT & jqPlot can be found here.
Features
The ability to create and store Data Visualizations as entities.
The ability to choose which rendering library you want for individual visualizations.
Quick load times since the data is stored as JSON files and not database records.
Integration with the Color module for easy color palette selection.
Profiler Builder is a module for automating the creation of installation profiles and distributions. It has support for the Profiler installation profile simplifier library but is able to run independent of it (1.0-RC4+). This module creates a downloadable tar package that gives you a well made installation profile and associated drush make file based on the site its installed on.
This is a fast, simple way of creating a distributions from any produced drupal site and is an excellent form of documentation via blue-print creation.
