#!F-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--18* #!N #!CSeaGreen #!N #!Rall182 Graphical User Interface #!N #!EC #!N #!N The graphical user interface is built upon the X Window and Motif standards. These tools manage multiple application windows that allow a user to create and control the visualization process easily and effectively. The graphical user interface provides two levels of service. First, non-programmers or users with fixed requirements can execute previously created visual programs. These visual programs may consist of various menus, dials, sliders, and other interactors that provide fixed functions. Second, programmers can create customized visualizations by using the interface to interconnect modules in flexible ways, and to create new combinations of modules in the form of macros. #!N #!N The Data Explorer graphical user interface lets you create or work with a visual program to easily realize sample, select, and transform data during visualization. You can use the Visual Program Editor (VPE) to create new scenarios by simply connecting module icons on the screen in any logical sequence. #!N #!N Data Explorer provides the following primary windows: #!N #!I0 #!N #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* Visual Program Editor #!EF #!I50 #!N Lets you create and alter visual programs. #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* Control Panel #!EF #!I50 #!N Lets you set and control the variable input parameters of the tools used in a visual program. #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* Image Window #!EF #!I50 #!N Displays the image created by a visual program and allows direct interaction with the visualized image. #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* Help Window #!EF #!I50 #!N Provides online access to the Data Explorer user manual and context-sensitive help information. #!I0 #!N #!N #!N #!N Data Explorer provides a Colormap Editor window that lets you map colors to specified data values and display the results in the visual image. The system also provides a Sequencer window, which has many uses, including controlling how a sequence of images is displayed (with forward and backward direction, repetition, and so on). #!N #!N These windows are discussed in detail in #!Lunduse,dxall274 h Graphical User Interface: Basics #!EL . In addition, Data Explorer provides two stand-alone utilities: #!N #!I0 #!N #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* Data Prompter: #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N a point-and-click interface for describing a data set for importing.
