Graphics Plugin for Liquidity Risk Software?
-
Hi all (sorry if this is the wrong forum). In my work (I'm a financial planner) I use liquidity risk software^ (like this one) in order to evaluate different types of risks in different financial scenarios. These types of programs are genrally very useful, except that they usually spit out data in a difficult form to read. Sometimes they do display data visually, but the quality and readability of the visual aid is usually low. I was wondering: is it possible to write some type of plugin or external software that would process this data (automatically or as close to that as possible) and present it visually in a more friendly way? I'm not a programmer myself, so I'd appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction. Would this only apply to open-source software? Does this sound plausible? possible? already outdated? :) Thanks! Stacey

If you are committed to a "codeless" solution, then Lotus 1-2-3 or Excel might be your best bet. (I guess Google Docs would be the closest thing to a "free" alternative to these proprietary tools.) Whatever you do, some customization will be required of you. If you use Lotus or Excel, you probably won't have to write code per se, but you will most definitely have to do some kind of mapping or configuration (e.g. using the GUI) to get the graphs looking how you want.
