Migrating from Data Visualizer

Data Visualizer is now DxVisualizer. The rename is user-facing: the product name, the menu paths, the window title, and this site changed. Code identifiers did not, so existing projects upgrade without edits.

What changed

Before Now
Name Data Visualizer DxVisualizer
Window menu Tools → Wallstop Studios → Data Visualizer Tools → Wallstop Studios → DxVisualizer
Theme asset menu Assets → Create → Wallstop Studios → DataVisualizer → Data Visualizer Theme Assets → Create → Wallstop Studios → DxVisualizer → DxVisualizer Theme
Default theme Classic Dx

What stayed the same

  • The package name, com.wallstop-studios.data-visualizer, and the install URL, https://github.com/wallstop/DataVisualizer.git. The dependency key in Packages/manifest.json keeps resolving. Both repoint when the repository moves to Ambiguous-Interactive (#151); this page will be updated with the move.
  • The C# namespaces WallstopStudios.DataVisualizer and WallstopStudios.DataVisualizer.Editor, and every public type: BaseDataObject, CustomDataVisualizationAttribute, IDataProcessor, IGUIProvider, DataVisualizerGUIContext, and the lifecycle interfaces.
  • Saved state: DataVisualizerUserState.json, the DataVisualizerSettings asset at Assets/Editor/DataVisualizerSettings.asset, ordering, selections, label filters, processor scope, and the selected theme.
  • Theme tokens: every --dataviz-* custom property and the .dataviz-root scope. Custom themes keep working.
  • Asset GUIDs and the .meta files behind them, so references from your assets to package types are untouched.

Update the package

  1. Open Window → Package Manager.
  2. Select the package entry under Packages: In Project.
  3. Select Update, or re-add the package from the git URL https://github.com/wallstop/DataVisualizer.git.

Keep the previous look

Dx is the default theme from this release. If you never picked a theme, the window switches to Dx. A theme you picked before the upgrade, including Classic, stays selected. To return to the previous appearance, open Settings → Theme and choose Classic.
