Systems that utilize evolutionary computation produce large amounts of data. Quite often, this data has a convenient visual representation. However, managing and visualizing evolutionary data can be a difficult and onerous task. By employing techniques used in photo management software, we have produced a system that helps to organize and visualize evolutionary data while retaining a complete record of a simulation. By means of a simple plugin architecture this system can be extended to import data produced by arbitrary evolutionary systems. We present the system's architecture, its features, and we provide a comprehensive example, highlighting its advantages in applied research.
