IGUANA Architecture, Framework and Toolkit for Interactive Graphics

摘要

IGUANA is a generic interactive visualisation framework based on a C++component model. It provides powerful user interface and visualisationprimitives in a way that is not tied to any particular physics experiment ordetector design. The article describes interactive visualisation tools builtusing IGUANA for the CMS and D0 experiments, as well as generic GEANT4 andGEANT3 applications. It covers features of the graphical user interfaces, 3Dand 2D graphics, high-quality vector graphics output for print media, varioustextual, tabular and hierarchical data views, and integration with theapplication through control panels, a command line and differentmulti-threading models.
