Visualization
3D View
The 3d view panel provides a representation of the 3d scene, as well as tools for: navigating, editing, exporting the scene. The complete set of actions available from the 3d view are described in the associated visual modeling section.
2D Graph
The 2d Graph panel (panels/2d/graph) is a powerful tool for understanding and navigating the graph structure in smaller GroIMP models.
The menu of this graph allows to change the (layouts (Layout > Edit), to change between different Graph descriptors (Graph > Edit), to redraw the graph / reapply the layout (View > Redraw), collapse and expand all node (View > Collapse all, View > Expand all) and to save the currently displayed picture (View > Snapshot)
Starting with GroIMP 2.2.2 it is possible to enable auto redrawing of the 2D Graph in the preferences. This will automatically redraw after every graph changing event.
Rendering
GroIMP includes different approaches for rendering the current scene with accurate lighting and details.
Plotting
GroIMP embeds the jfreeChart project to enable the visualization of datasets as plots.
Plotting is possible through either the RGG command chart() or through the menu entry “plot” in the dataset explorer.
The plots are displayed in chart panels. These panels are automatically updated when their associated dataset is modified (new data, changed data, …). This enables to have real time feedback.
