Overview

Visual Data Tools (VDT) show any kind of statistic data. All the VDT plug-ins use the Shared Memory transport channel.

Shared Memory is a map which has user defined variables, indexed by a string, also known as a key-value pair. There are three types of Shared Memory Maps.

For more information about Shared Memory see the Shared Memory (SHM) section of the Viz Artist User Guide.

The VDT plug-in suite consists of:

• Geometry plug-ins: Used to draw the chart (detailed in this section).

• Basic Container Plug-ins: Used to label, data scale, etc., the chart.
