[Beta] JSON-based svg static data visualizations generator
=============

This is a tiny webtool aiming at connecting google spreadsheets and static data files to svg datavis generators.
It has been built for allowing a smoother workflow between data experts and designers, without loosing fine tuning possibilities hidden by generic datavis tools.

Workflow of the tool :

* The data expert works with her data in a google spreadsheet instance
* Data expert and designer set together the list of datasets and visualizations they want. Designer writes them in a codified form in a 'directory.json' file (in `app/data`). Visualizations are basically defined in terms of layout and parameters mapping.
* The designer refines the visualizations filters and options visually within app GUI
* When satisfied, visualizations can be downloaded as svg for further infographics work.

Example of a `directory.json` file:

```json
{
"dataSources" : [
{
"name" : "Base locale",
"type" : "csv",
"url" : "/data/base.csv"
}
],
"visualisations" : [
{
"name" : "Test visualisation - date de diffusion vs thématique de l'adaptation",
"vis_type" : "linechart",
"data_source" : "Base locale",
"data_type" : "time",
"timedata" : "date",
"timeformat" : "%m/%d/%Y",
"objects" : "type",
"file_name" : "testvisualisation",
"timespan" : "year"
},
