It is often difficult to determine the relationship between them. While the use of traditional graphics such as maps, graphs and tables are helpful they have their limitations. This seminar will explore the use Java Script and the HTML Canvas element to produce interactive graphics. Such graphics can be embedded in a website or a standalone document.
