Screenshot

Key Features

  1. Interactive 2D and 3D plots (scatter, parallel axis, etc.)
  2. Various annotations and data callouts
  3. Ability to save, share, and load visualizations
  4. Create scripted animations (experimental)
  5. Extensible design allows adding new widgets

Usage

J3 is a Java application built using JavaFX. We recommend installing a version of Java with JavaFX built-in, such as Zulu. Pick JDK FX under the Java Package filter. Java 17 or newer is required.

Running from Source

If using Eclipse, run the class j3.GUI directly or create a new Maven run configuration with the goal javafx:run.

If using Maven, run mvn javafx:run from the terminal.

Native Programs

To build a native application for your operating system, run mvn clean install. This will generate an installer appropriate for your system, such as an MSI on Windows, inside the target/ folder.

We also provide pre-compiled releases for Windows (.msi), Linux (.deb), and MacOS (.dmg), available under the Releases page.

Troubleshooting

As our releases are currently not signed, you might see an error when attempting to run or install the application.

On Windows, you will see a dialog indicating Windows Defender blocked an unrecognized app. Click "More Info" and "Run Anyways" to continue the installation.

On MacOS, it will display an error indicating the J3 application is "damaged". Run the following to remove the quarantine attribute:

cd /Applications
sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine J3.app
