Data Mining - Plotters

Summary: Plotters read data products created by bots and map certain coordinate points to use them as vertices for polygons, which are assigned styles to create graphic representations of the underlying data.

A plotter is a device used to produce a graphic representation of datasets generated by bots.
Foundations->Node->Plotter->Content
Plotters usually have a one-to-one relationship with bots, as they are often created as a customized solution. However, in practice, there is no constraint to creating any number of plotters for a single bot or a single plotter for multiple bots.
The overall workflow of a plotter, while reading a dataset, consists in:
  • Applying a set of rules to identify certain data points;
  • Use those points to form lines and polygons;
  • Apply graphical styles to those lines and polygons.

A plotter module is a device within a plotter that contains the definitions to create the visualization for a product definition.
Foundations->Node->Plotter Module->Content
A single plotter may have several modules. Different modules may be used to plot each product of the bot, or as best suits the expected use-pattern.
