HDPS

Introduction

The HDPS system is a modular plug-in system intended for visualization applications.

The system consists of a compact core which handles:

• Plug-in loading and dependency resolution
• Data storage and data synchronization
• Providing a base application window.

Additionally, a complementary public library is generated which provides:

• The base classes from which all plug-ins extend
• Basic rendering and computation classes
• Graphics utility classes
• Common GUI base classes
