Description
IGUANA is a well-established generic interactive visualisation framework
based on a C++ component model and open-source graphics products. We
describe developments since the last CHEP, including: the event display
toolkit, with examples from CMS and D0; the generic IGUANA visualisation
system for GEANT4; integration of ROOT and Hippoplot with IGUANA; and a
new lightweight and portable IGUANA Web browser client. Items covered
include: the IGUANA design, API and scripting services; the Qt-based
graphical user interfaces; OpenInventor/OpenGL 3D and 2D graphics;
HEP-specific extensions for tracks, vertices, jets, etc.; vector graphics
output; textual, tabular and hierarchical data views; the application
control centre; and the novel Asynchronous Javascript/XML (AJAX) Iguana
Web client. We demonstrate the use of IGUANA with several applications
built for D0 and CMS, including displays of the first real data from the
CMS Cosmic Challenge, using the recently re-engineered framework
and Event Data Model.
