Overview of Module Libraries

EVS/MVS Modules

EVS & MVS modules can each be considered software applications that can be combined together by the user to form high level customized applications performing analysis and visualization. These modules have input and output ports and user interfaces.

File Modules

Modules that read or write data files and convert them to/from EVS grids with coordinates and/or data.

Display Modules

Modules whose primary purpose is visualization rather than subsetting, processsing or manipulation of data.

Subsetting Modules

Modules that subsetting EVS grids with coordinates and/or data. Subsetting includes:

  1. selective subsetting of data components (e.g. extract_component)

  2. reduction of dimensionality (e.g. slice)

  3. spatial subsetting (e.g. cut)

  4. data-based subsetting (e.g. plume_volume)

Processing Modules

Modules whose primary purpose is processsing EVS grids with coordinates and/or data using a particular mathematical or analytical method. This includes modules that facilitate subsetting (e.g. area_cut) but do not actually perform the subsetting.

Image Modules

Image modules include all modules that read, write, modify or work with raster (bitmap) images.

Animation Modules

Animation modules that facilitate the creation of animations or produce animated effects.

Tools Modules

Tools modules include the nuts-and-bolts to complete your applications and include a collection of modules that do not fit in any of the categories above.

Cell Data Modules

Cell data modules act on a field's Cell_Data and/or subset the grid such that the mesh output from the module has a restricted domain or smaller extent or lesser dimensionality.
