0 // read slogan

banish the spreadsheet

1 // check data format

Before uploading a data file, check the samples gallery to make sure that your data format is compatible. Briefly,

  • Your file must be plain text.
  • Your data values must be non-negative integers. If this is not the case, multiply each value in your table by a reasonable value (e.g. 1000).
  • Max number of accepted rows/cols is 15.
  • No two rows or two columns may have the same name.
  • Due to laziness on my part, things look best when rows/columns have a one character name (e.g. A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, ...)

I'm aware of some performance problems with the current version of the web-based table viewer. I will be trying to resolve these over the next short while.



If you are using the options below, make sure your input file has the appropriate content (see samples 5-8).
