XGobi and XploRe Meet ViRGIS
Jürgen Symanzik, Renato Pajarola, Peter Widmayer
Abstract
In this paper we report on a linked environment of the three programs
XGobi,
XploRe,
and
ViRGIS.
While XGobi and XploRe are statistical
packages that focus on dynamic statistical graphics and provide
analytical statistical features, respectively, ViRGIS is a 3D
virtual reality Geographic Information System (GIS) that allows
real-time access to, and visualization of, geographic data.
This link between the three programs is based on the RPC technology
previously developed for the ArcView/XGobi/XploRe environment.
It allows linked brushing and the exchange of data and commands
within this environment - completely transparent to the user.
