TDV Technical Data Viewer

Overview

This goody implements a framework for 3D visualisation of technical data.
Typical applications include quality monitoring (factory automation, telecom etc.).

The framework has been written to allow for easy change/customization of the rendering process.
Especially rendered graphic parts such as grids, scales etc. are all implemented as separate objects, and can be easily changed/subclassed for a particular application.

The data-gathering mechanism is not part of the TDV framework and must be written for a particular application
To display realTime data, usually, some shared memory interface to the realTime process is added;
for non-realTime display, the data may also be read from a file or via some IPC (interprocess communication) mechanism. Technical data can be displayed basically in two forms:

A fixed 2-dimensional matrix of values
A one dimensional data vector over time

Prerequisites

This goody requires the openGL interface package.
