Vizlib Tiles Overview

Are you looking for a high-performance, organized way of presenting collections of your data with a look and feel which can be customized exactly how you want it? Vizlib Tiles can help you bring this all together, holding your information in a tile (cell) format, using a dynamic table structure and letting your users choose the layout and formatting for themselves.

With Vizlib Tiles, you can include images, descriptions and even ratings. We think it'd be a great way of setting out your product or employee directories, for example.You can also download the product catalogue here.

Vizlib Tiles works using a single dimension and a number of measures, which act as Layers within a tile.

Key Features include:

  • Setup Wizard - add and define dimensions and measures quickly and easily.

  • Tile Editor - make general layout changes and apply them to every tile in the table.

  • Customization of different fonts for headers, descriptions and titles.

  • Use of images and gradient color schemes for both the tile and the object.

  • Apply and customize dividers, shadows and margins within the table.
