Visualizations Everywhere: A Multiplatform Infrastructure for Linked Visualizations

In order to use new visualizations, most toolkits require application developers to rebuild their applications and distribute new versions to users.

In this way, applications can be extended dynamically, with a wide variety of visualizations. We discuss the benefits of this architectural approach, contrast it to existing techniques, and give a variety of examples and extensions of the basic system.
