Escher

A library of web-based maps and visualizations for systems biology.

See the wiki for some project info.

1. Installation Download =======

2. Running the server =======

Load data dynamically using the included tornado server. To get started, go to the root escher directory and call:

python server/tornado_main.py

Should start a server at localhost:7778 with live plots and maps. Modify the data in the data/ directory to make your own plots and maps come to life!

3. Using the static javascript file =======

You can include the escher-1.0.dev.js script in any html document. The only dependency is d3.js. Include them both like this:

<script src="http://d3js.org/d3.v3.min.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script src="escher-1.0.dev.js"> </script>

4. Building escher =======

Install the require.js optimizer and run:

cd /path/to/escher/js
r.js -o build.js
r.js -o build.min.js

This builds both the uglified and non-uglified javascript files.
