Interactive Graphics Toolkit for Java Applications and Web Applets
Donald W. Denbo, JISAO/University of Washington and NOAA/PMEL, Seattle, WA
The Scientific Graphics Toolkit (SGT), a library of java graphics classes, facilitates the development of platform independent, Java applications and web applets to produce highly interactive, flexible, publication quality, object-oriented graphics of scientific data. Features include user settable or automatically scaled axes, sophisticated, automatically self-scaling time axes, mouse-movable objects (labels, line keys, icons), customizable objects, automatic generation of legends to explain the data being displayed and contour plots.
SGT, originally developed for NOAA's NOAAServer project, has been used in the development of OceanShare, a collaborative tool for in-situ oceanographic data sets, and ncBrowse, a graphical netCDF file browser. For convenience of use, SGT conforms to the JavaBeans component architecture guidelines and can be used with both AWT and swing projects.
