2.  Developed by Bestiario, a Spanish startup.
 Impure is a visual programming language aimed to
gather, process and visualize information.
 Visual Program: Arrange elements in space and make
connections between then to set up an information
flow.
 Possible to obtain information from very different
sources;
 Social media data
 Real time or historical financial information
 Images, news, search queries and many more

3.  Modules: Everything in Impure is done by modules.
 Different kinds of modules are able to
load, generate, analyze, convert, filter and visualize data.
Other ones are controls that let users interact with the
process.
•Inlets and outlets
 INLETS are the ports through which they get data
from the outside world to process it.
 Some inlets are required, Others are optional.

4.  Many modules (but not all of them) do also have an
OUTLET used to feed other modules and thus set up
your processing chain.
 One outlet can feed as many inlets as needed, enabling
processing or visualizing the same data in many
different ways.
 One can think of the inlets as the arguments of a
function or method, and of the outlet as its return value.
 Impure comes to life only when CONNECTIONS define
an information flow, that begins with some data source.

5.  The colorful tabs on the left border are the access point
for Impure's library, which is a set of lists containing all
the modules that are currently part of the application.
Five Module categories are:
 Data Structures : Data Structures hold a piece of
information of a given type and have no inlets and only
they have one outlet
 Operators : Operators always have at least one inlet.
They perform some kind of operation on the data that is
fed to them, and return the result in the outlet.
 Visualizators : Visualizators build some kind of visual
representation from the data they receive
 Controls : Controls let users interact with the space or
perform some complex task (such as downloading data)
 Apis: Apis allow communication with many sources of
information on the Internet.
