A configurable visualization environment
Benoı̂t Ozell, R. Camarero · 34th Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit · 1996
The different steps in developing a simulation program, as well as the multiple application domains, imply many expectations from visualization and the visualization environment greatly influences the perception of the information contained in the solution. The methodology presented is centered around the concept of configurability, i.e. the possibility for a user to specialize the visualizator for current needs and therefore create a working environment tailored for specific domains and situations. Configurability allows for the sharing of generic elements and algorithms of visualization, and also for a natural environment of communication. It provides functions for a linear thinking context (repetitive creation of same representations, systematic use of a set of images for comparison or validation), but also for exploration of the characteristics of the solution. This communication uses the paradigm and the syntagm of a language, the language of visualization. This work presents the ...
