Data Tool JS

written by Douglas Brown, Robert Hanson, and Wolfgang Christian

Data Tool is a data analysis tool for plotting and fitting data from laboratory experiments, simulations, video analysis, or any other data set organized into columns. Data Tool allows the user to plot multiple columns, control the appearance and scale of plots, view statistics, measure slope and area, manually or automatically fit built-in and user-defined functions to experimental data, and define new columns as functions of existing columns. See the Data Tool online help for additional information.

The Java implementation of the Data Tool program was written by Doug Brown at Cabrillo College using portions of the Open Source Physics code library developed by Wolfgang Christian at Davidson College. Data Tool was later converted from Java to JavaScript by Doug Brown, Wolfgang Christian and Robert Hanson using the href="https://chemapps.stolaf.edu/swingjs/site/swingjs/examples/about.html">SwingJS system developed by Hanson and his students at St. Olaf College. This web page runs the JavaScript conversion.

JavaScript Data Tool and the conversion from Java to JavaScript is still beta and we are still fixing minor bugs. For now, it would be best if you would link to the ComAPDRE version as we will update the code.

Thank you again.
I tried to link to CompaDRE version (lowering my browser security to the minimum). The only thing I had was a white square (under the "Data Tool" title) and the text under the square.

Can't use Data Tool JS

Bonsoir,

Thanks for making the conversion of "DataTool" from java to JavaScript.

However, when I try to open "Data Tool JS" by clicking on "index.html", I have this following alert popup:

"There was a problem loading local files. Check to see that your browser has been set up to read local files.

--Developers: Override J2S.cantLoadLocalFiles to customize this message."

best regards.

I. Fall

Again, pages converted from Java to JavaScript should be run from a server but you can use Firefox if you want to run them from your local file system.

1) Type the following into the Firefox Developer edition URL field: about:config
2) Set the Strict Origin Policy to false: security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy;false

Close and reopen the Firefox browser and your JS pages should run.

Understood.
Thank you very much.
