Time And Place is a software that generates graphical representations, such as bar charts and prism graphs, to display annual time series. This tool allows users to visualize data with clarity and efficiency.
Time And Place is a Java Web Start application designed to display annual time series data visually through graphs. Its primary focus is on presenting geopolitical data organized by regions, such as states or countries. The application displays each region as a bar chart that can be used to sequence through the years.
Users can also collapse or expand regions, sort them by name or value, and select them to track them more easily. The charts can be customized based on whether only high or low regions should be displayed, the values and the chart's scales.
For systems that support it, the application also provides a 3D prism graph that shows each region rising or falling as the statistic changes. Further, users can save series as a file compatible with most spreadsheet programs, which can be read into and displayed by the application.
It is also possible to create a new series by combining several series over a common range of dates and regions. Users can provide formulas to calculate the values of the new series, drawing on specific input series.
Time And Place also provides a feature to add links to web pages that contain relevant information for a specific time or place, allowing users to bring up the page directly.
To use Time And Place, users should have the Java plugin 1.4 or higher installed, and Java 1.4.2 is required for prism maps. In case of the "resources not signed by the same certificate" error while using Java Web Start, users should remove the older version of the TimeAndPlace application and relaunch it.
Overall, Time And Place is a useful application for visualizing geopolitical data through graphs and customizing them based on various parameters.
