⚡Geometry Nodes

Addon now ships with a geometry nodes .blend library that is used to generate all charts and components procedurally. The chart mesh is created based on the data and then everything is done using geometry nodes. This has several advantages:

  • Real time adjustability - adjust ranges in modifier or N-panel, axis and everything adjusts automatically
  • Performance - It's possible to visualise 100k+ data points
  • Many more animatable properties - in-out animations, more data animations, animating components and more
  • More control of the geometry - only the data is in the scene, geometry is done procedurally

Each chart component is a geometry nodes modifier working with other data vis operators. This feature is supported from Blender 4.2 and above.

🆕New Features

  • Adding individual components through N-panel, modifiers drawn in N-panel for ease access
  • Above Data Labels - add numeric values displayed above points updating realtime
  • Animating of components like axis, data labels
  • Legacy Mode is kept and can be toggled to use previous <3.0.0 behavior
  • Open data file operator
  • Improved logging for debugging issues
  • Customize materials with Attributes
