Integrated visualization
A system may provide a visualization function during computational functions performed by a host system. Access to a library of functions including a visualization function is provided. Then, a computing application is executed. The execution of the computing application includes generating multi-dimensional data, invoking the visualization function from the library, and providing a visual representation of at least a portion of the multi-dimensional data for display within the computing application using the visualization function.
1. A method for generating graphical representations, the method comprising:
providing access to a library of functions including a visualization function;
receiving a data set in response to executing one or more computer program instructions of an application program;
generating multi-dimensional data from the data set;
executing a visualization function call during the execution of the one or more computer program instructions of the application program, wherein the visualization function call requests production of a graphical representation of the data set by a visualization program during the concurrent execution of the one or more computer program instructions of the application program;
invoking the visualization function from the library before generating the graphical representation, wherein the graphical representation provided for display includes at least a portion of the multi-dimensional data;
identifying one or more pointers to data associated with the data set, wherein the one or more pointers are parameters associated with the one or more computer program instructions of the application program;
identifying an argument that corresponds to a type for the graphical representation; and
generating a graphical representation corresponding to the data set and the identified argument by executing one or more computer program instructions of the visualization program based on the executed visualization function call, wherein the graphical representation is continually updated as the application program continues execution of the one or more computer program instructions of the application program and is provided for display on a display.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphical representation includes three dimensional (3D) interactive components.
11. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor to execute a method for generating graphical representations, the method comprising:
providing access to a library of functions including a visualization function;
receiving a data set in response to executing one or more computer program instructions of an application program;
generating multi-dimensional data from the data set;
executing a visualization function call during the execution of the one or more computer program instructions of the application program, wherein the visualization function call requests production of a graphical representation of the data set by a visualization program during the concurrent execution of the one or more computer program instructions of the application program;
invoking the visualization function from the library before generating the graphical representation, wherein the graphical representation provided for display includes at least a portion of the multi-dimensional data;
identifying one or more pointers to data associated with the data set, wherein the one or more pointers are parameters associated with the one or more computer program instructions of the application program;
identifying an argument that corresponds to a type for the graphical representation; and
generating a graphical representation corresponding to the data set and the identified argument by executing one or more computer program instructions of the visualization program based on the executed visualization function call, wherein the graphical representation is continually updated as the application program continues execution of the one or more computer program instructions of the application program and is provided for display on a display.
12. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the receiving of the data set includes aggregating data from a plurality of distributed clients.
13. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the graphical representation is provided to the plurality of distributed clients.
