About the add-on

Model and data visualization

Effective communication and understanding are essential to making the best use of your data. One tried and true communication method is the use of visual aids. To facilitate this type of communication, the TIBCO EBX® Data Model and Data Visualization Add-on generates interactive graphs of your data, relationships, and data structure.

The add-on allows you to:

Data Model Graphs

By default, no configuration is required to generate data model graphs. If you have access to a data model, dataset, or table in TIBCO EBX®, you can use the add-on to render a model. Of course, options are available to customize appearance and behavior. Saved graphs can highlight changes to models. This is a convenient way for you to visualize how changes will impact the model.

Data model graphs are not limited to EBX® data sources. Using the API, graphs can be generated from external sources. See Creating and editing graph configurations for more information on customization.

Data value graphs

The add-on does not require configuration to display data value and relationship graphs. However, administrators can create custom data value graph configurations. The default data value graphs display values in boxes and use lines to represent relationships between values. When an administrator creates a custom configuration, they can specify:
