HPF Modules Demo with one 3- D output and a 3 -d filter


After the WebFlow Editor applet finished loading, you should see four frames: base editor frame (with a rectangular grid), pallete frame (with a module tree), control frame (with create, run and destroy checkboxes) and a properties frame (with Apply,Revert and Close).You can close the Properties frame. It is not being used currently.

To run HPF demo, follow the steps below:

  1. Create a HPF module using the HPF applet and save the configuration file. Wait till the configuration file is saved. Also check that the SciVis server is up and running.
  2. After the configuration file is saved, press the refresh modules button on the Palette. Wait for the module tree to be reloaded. The instrumented HPF module will stored in the HPF branch of the tree. The HPF module will be given a name HPFProjNameConfigfileName . SO you would have HPFsc97new3D as a module with wheresc97 is the project file name and new3D is the config file name to run the HPF demo. Also colours on the ports represent data being passed though the port.

    Red color: One Dimensional data. Blue color: Two Dimensional data. Green color: Three Dimensional data.

  3. Click on HPFsc97new3D and move the mouse cursor into the editor frame, click again there to place the module.
  4. Click on the Connect3DFilter module and perform the same step.
  5. The filter module namely plotfilter3dsp is stored in the image branch of the tree. You should see an applet with a scrollbar pop up .
  6. The SciVis modules are stored in the SciVis branch of the tree. Click on the SciVis_2D module and place it on the screen .
  7. A frame might pop up asking you for the SciVis host and port num. Fill in the appropriate values , namely the host and port where SciVis server is running. IF nothing pops up , dont worry it knows where the SciVis server is because it reads from a configuration file SciVis.config stored in the JavaWebServer main dir. Also Be sure that the SciVis.config file contains the name of the host on which SciVis running
  8. Now onto connecting the modules. First and foremost remeber thered ports on the HPF module always connect to Connect3DFilter module so click on the red pin of the HPF module and drag the mouse towards the port pin of the Connect3DFilter module (this way you draw a connection line), and then release the mouse button (when the line connects both ports) to instantiate the connection.
  9. Connect the other port of the Connect3DFilter module to the port of the SciVis_2D.
  10. Press run button on the Control Panel to run the module.
  11. You should see a SciVis window popping up.
  12. Try moving the scrollbar to see changes in the 2-D data.
  13. The computation stops after sometime and you can see the data in the SciVis window .
  14. Press destroy button on the Control Panel. All popup frames should disappear and the editor frame should be cleared. You can now edit another graph and run it or just go to some other page in your browser. Problems that can be encountered
