Modular Visualization Environment

Abstract

The interpretation of various data resulting from simulation and real world is an important of a disparate range of sciences. The field of data visualisation seeks to address this problem by providing appropriate analysis via graphical representations. Various software tools now exist that provide suitable environments for a range of interpretational tasks. Modular Visualisation Environments are one from them. These provide a visual programming environment in which the user can manipulate data and create various graphical representations. A major disadvantages of visualisation via standard MVEs are, that the systems are not easy to use, too complex, huge and very expensive. To address these problems, a new system is presented. This system builds upon recognised benefits of MVEs, simplifying the visualisation, module creation process and introducing a framework that allows complex data (volumetric data in our case, for example) to be easily investigated.
