Things people build with this

USE CASE 1

Take a ready-made large-screen dashboard template and swap in your own data to quickly build a control-room-style display.

USE CASE 2

Use the ECharts map animation examples as a starting point for showing city-to-city data flows on a geographic map.

USE CASE 3

Copy the 3D bar chart or sunburst chart examples as starter code for a data visualization project.

In plain English

iDataV is a collection of example projects for large-screen data visualization, written in Chinese for a Chinese audience. Large-screen visualization refers to the kind of dashboards you often see displayed on giant monitors in corporate control rooms or public displays: maps with animated flying lines, real-time sales numbers, 3D charts, and charts showing the geographic spread of companies or customers. These displays are built to look impressive and communicate high-level information at a glance rather than for detailed data analysis. The examples in this repository use a JavaScript charting library called ECharts, which is maintained by Baidu and widely used for this kind of work. The examples cover bar charts, line charts, pie charts, tree maps, sunburst charts (which show hierarchical proportions using rings within rings), heat maps overlaid on Baidu Maps, 3D bar charts, and animated map effects like heat spots and moving paths between cities. There are also examples built on top of cloud-based drag-and-drop visualization platforms from Alibaba, Baidu, and Tencent, which let teams assemble dashboards from pre-built components without writing much code. The repository functions as a learning resource and a starter kit. Developers looking to build a large-screen visualization project can take one of the provided templates as a starting point and swap in their own data. The README explicitly notes that all data used in the examples is fictional and should not be treated as real. The README is brief and written entirely in Chinese, so most details about setup or customization are not covered here. A live demo is linked from the README for anyone who wants to see the examples running in a browser.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
I want to build a large-screen dashboard with an animated flying-line map using ECharts. Show me the full configuration object for drawing moving paths between cities on a Baidu Map.
Prompt 2
How do I swap the sample data in an iDataV ECharts template with data fetched from my own REST API so the chart updates in real time?
Prompt 3
Give me an ECharts sunburst chart configuration that shows hierarchical sales data with three levels of nesting.
Prompt 4
How do I adapt one of the iDataV templates to work with a different map provider instead of Baidu Maps?
