Perspective › Examples

Market — Depth Timeseries

Y Bar chart of if("side"=='buy'){1}else{-1}, grouped by bucket("timestamp", 'm'), split by side and status, with 3 computed expression columns.

Simulated real-time order flow: a stateful matching engine on a private worker, view-mirrored to the UI.

Data

A simulated order book streaming into a Perspective table in real time: orders are created, filled, cancelled and expired continuously, and every data grid, pivot and chart updates incrementally as they arrive.

Generated continuously in the browser by a JavaScript simulation streaming into a Perspective Table.

Configuration

This example is a saved <perspective-viewer> workspace. Pass this JSON to viewer.restoreWorkspace() to reproduce it over the same table:

{
    "layout": {
        "type": "tab-layout",
        "tabs": [
            "p0"
        ],
        "selected": 0
    },
    "panels": {
        "p0": {
            "table": "",
            "theme": null,
