use dxlink to communicate with Data Explorer. Copy the
files in this directory to your own directory, rename the
appropriate makefile (Makefile_ibm6000, etc.) to Makefile,
then type either
make
to make all the demos
or
make sealevel
or
make maptoplane
or
make xapp
or
make xapp_supervise
or
make demoapp
to make an executable. To run, simply type
sealevel
or
maptoplane
or
xapp
or
xapp_supervise
or
demoapp netlist
The sealevel example sends a series of isosurface values to
a visual program.
The maptoplane example not only sends a series of maptoplane
positions, but it also receives information (the maximum value
on the maptoplane) back from Data Explorer.
The xapp example creates a standalone motif application which
presents a set of radio buttons. Depending on which radio
button is pushed, a different set of Data Explorer script
language commands are sent to the executive. Output is listened
for and handled using DXOutputValue and DXLSetValueHandler.
The output (the max value of the field) is presented in the
motif window.
The xapp_supervise example creates a standalone motif application which
presents a set of radio buttons. Depending on which radio
button is pushed, a different filename is sent to a previously
defined macro. An image is created and displayed within the user-
created gui. Interaction within the image is possible using
the SuperviseWindow and SuperviseState modules.
The demoapp example creates a graphical user interface containing
a number of thumbnail images (specified in the netlist file). When
the user presses a button corresponding to the thumbnail, a visual
program is loaded so that the user can see the particular visualization.
