InfiView: Interactive Ajax Graphical Maps and Diagrams
<p>InfiView is a mapping development tool that empowers engineers to build infinite-sized Web 2.0 mind maps, network topologies, organization charts, LDAP tools and technical diagrams.InfiView uses Ajax technology and its own unique dynamic memory management to enable developers to systematically create graphical web applications using any amount of data (from very small all the way to infinite). With InfiView-built web-applications, end-users seamlessly interact (pan, zoom, right-click for actions…) with all types of graphical data – such as network topologies, DNA sequences or genealogy charts – oblivious to the vast amounts of data available.
100% built in Bindows (www.bindows.net), InfiView is built on top of the Bindows framework which is back-end/server agnostic, and provides best-in-industry support for section-508 accessibility compliance, internationalization and localization.

Wow, great to see that someone adresses our web diagraming needs from a framework perspective.
And it is as fast as our desktop diagrams.
Pretty cool! Ran, will InfiView pieces be exposed as APIs in future releases of Bindows or are all the pieces already available in 2.55?
Finally! Something cool with maps. I almost started using Yahoo Maps Flash API. -Dazed

It is for you? Well, I tried the Balloon Tree demo and the thing is so jerky and slow that it is not usable.
We apologize for not clearly explaining the purpose of this demo :)
What the Balloon Tree demonstrates is a special algorithm for centering a node (a balloon). Every time you click on a node it is immediately centered (we even added a little animation).
Thanks for your comment – we will add a description to the demo on Monday.
@Martin, thanks for your comment! I did some changes to improve the performance of the Balloon Tree Demo. Also I added some descriptions.
This is a fantastic application in and of itself. But it’s even more amazing for the ease with which it can be used. I would say we are now beginning to enter the age of the end-user. More and more applications like this one are coming out and making it easy for people with little actual programming experience to create web spaces that are every bit as interactive, accessible, and impressive as any commercial sites. I am by no means a technical whiz — I like to think I can design a workable site for myself, but I would never attempt to do something that required a great deal of complexity. For the most part I use Dream weaver to put my sites together. But I had no problem following the tutorials o the Infiview website. I look forward to more programs like these that bridge the gap between programmers and amateurs designers.

I forwarded the links you gave to my brother because he is a software engineer. He commented that the demo is somewhat slow. Is there something that he should do in order to watch the demo properly without eating much of his time getting idle and waiting for things to come out?
nice work and comments
