#!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*

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

the necessary makefiles and a template #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* .c #!EF file for
the module. (See IBM Visualization Data Explorer Programmer's Reference.) #!I0 #!N
