Tableau Data Visualization
Tableau Software builds visual analysis products that help people ask and
answer analytical questions involving data stored in databases and
spreadsheets. Tableau empowers people to better analyze data using
their natural ability to think visually.
Tableau got its start in Stanford University's Department of Computer
Science between 1997 and 2002.
Pat Hanrahan (now with Pixar) led Stanford research in the use of table-based
displays to browse multidimensional relational databases along with a
student, Chris Stolte (now Tableau founder & Vice President), who
specialized in visualization techniques for exploring and analyzing
relational databases and data cubes. They invented a database visualization
language called VizQL (Visual Query Language). VizQL formed the core of the
Polaris system, an interface for exploring large multi-dimensional
databases, Tableau spun out of VizQL and Stanford in 2003.
Tableau's product line is devoted to combining graphics, databases and analysis into a unified visual analysis framework. INSANE
