Detailed Description

DialogViz is a simple user-interface toolkit.

It enables you to create simple user interfaces in a platform-independent way. You can specify the user interface by loading its definition from an Open Inventor (.iv) file and/or you can specify it programmatically.

Here are some examples of user interfaces generated using DialogViz. DialogViz supports both a 2D mode and a 3D mode. In 2D mode, DialogViz builds native user-interface objects to instantiate the interface. This is most useful on a desktop display. In 3D mode, DialogViz builds 3D geometry to instantiate the user interface. This is most useful in an immersive display environment. A powerful feature of DialogViz is that the same interface definition can be used in 2D (desktop) and 3D (immersive) modes.

DialogViz is organized into two components: Dialog and Auditors.

• The Dialog component contains classes used to define the basic components of a graphical user interface: menus, push buttons, radio buttons, combo boxes, check boxes, etc.
• The Auditor component contains auditors. Unlike Open Inventor, swhich uses callbacks, DialogViz uses (like Java) an "auditor" mechanism for setting up communication between your application and your interface.
