#!F-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--18* #!N #!CNavyBlue #!N #!Rall608 Design for Interactive Use #!N #!EC #!N #!N Data Explorer is first and foremost designed for interactive exploration using data as the raw material for creating, modifying, and understanding imagery. As such, the system is designed to permit operation at several different levels of expertise: "exploring," "authoring," and "programming." You can engage in exploring by opening previously created visual programs (e.g., the visual programs provided with Data Explorer) and changing values of the Interactors found in Control Panels, changing values in the Image window controls, or by manipulating the Sequencer (if one is provided). You author a visual program when you place and interconnect additional modules on the VPE or reorganize connections between modules already present, or when you create a new visual program from scratch. At the advanced level, you can learn how to write and add your own custom modules to Data Explorer. This involves writing in a traditional programming language like C, taking advantage of a rich function library provided, compiling your new module, and running your customized version of Data Explorer. While it is nice to know you can do this, do not worry if you are not a programmer, because you may never find a need to write your own module considering how powerful the "stock" Data Explorer tool set is. #!N #!N The next section addresses those who want to create new visual programs, So here are a few tips on design for interactive use. #!N #!N #!N #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18* Next Topic #!EF #!N #!N #!Lall609,dxall610 h Interactors and Control Panels #!EL #!N #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18* #!N
