Using this framework, a cave tool and a corresponding desktop tool were created.
The two tools have a common code base. They compile within the same directory and
make use of a lot of the same object files. In addition, a VRML server was created
for web-based visualization.
It makes use of the same Application
and VisGen
components that are
in the two visualization tools. Developing this VRML server was simple and it demonstrated
that components of the framework can be re-used. It also demonstrates that the
visualization components of the framework are independent of the interface. The VRML
server can be run from the commandline or over the web from a Java Applet interface.
