IRIS Explorer Tutorial

This tutorial aims to help you learn IRIS Explorer, the modular visualization environment developed and marketed by NAG Ltd. There are three sessions: the first session gets you started; the second covers more advanced use, particularly of the render module; the third session deals with getting external data into IRIS Explorer.

The tutorial was developed for IRIS Explorer 3.0 on Unix and IRIS Explorer 3.5 on Windows NT 4.0. It was updated in 2002 for IRIS Explorer 5.0 on both Unix and Windows NT platforms.

The material was originally created by Dr Helen Wright as an IRIS Showcase presentation, to support the Visualization masters module in the School of Computer Studies at the University of Leeds. It was converted to Web format by Rupert Field, in a project funded by AGOCG and co-directed by Dr Helen Wright and Dr Ken Brodlie, in the School of Computer Studies. Subsequently, the NT versions were developed by Dr Helen Wright, Mr Christian Petermann and Mr George Sisias at the Department of Computer Science, University of Hull. Further updating to version 5.0 was carried out by Jason Wood, University of Leeds.

The tutorial uses frames and is therefore best viewed using a modern WWW browser.
