Protovis - A Graphical Toolkit for Data Visualization
Protovis composes custom views of data with simple marks such as bars and dots.
Unlike low-level graphics libraries that quickly become tedious for
visualization, Protovis defines marks through dynamic properties that encode
data, allowing inheritance, scales and layouts to simplify construction.
Protovis is free and open-source, provided under the BSD License. It uses
JavaScript and SVG for web-native visualizations; no plugin required (though you
will need a modern web browser)! Although programming experience is helpful,
Protovis is mostly declarative and designed to be learned by example.
This project is led by Mike Bostock and Jeff Heer of the Stanford Visualization
Group, with significant help from Vadim Ogievetsky. We welcome your
contributions and suggestions.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
