Analysis
Visualize Free is a free cloud-hosted, zero-client app for data visualization and analytics. It is a derivative of the commercial platform for dashboard, reporting and data mashup developed by InetSoft. Simply upload your data and drag-and-drop to create visualization dashboards with built-in interactivity. Your private dashboards can be shared with others using a generated shareable link.
Analysis
Adjectives and Character (Treemap), from the Visualizing Literature toolset, allows users to select a text from Visualizing Literature's list of grade school curriculum exemplar creative commons texts and search for a character name from the text. The results visualize the most common adjectives associated with that character, and may include or exclude stopwords. All texts are searchable, and can be sorted by writer, title, publication year, grade level, availability for analysis and availablility of a direct link to the text. Please note that, as this toolset is still in beta, the selection of texts is currently limited, though over 300 texts are forthcoming. As of 2014, this toolset is no longer available as the website has been taken down. It may still be viewed via the Internet Archive.
