Method Detail

init

void init()

Initializes the visualizer for use. Must be called before any other method.

start

void start()

Signals the visualizer that integration is now being started. This resets the visualizer for this integration process.

stop

void stop()

Signals the visualizer that integration has now ended and no further VisualizerData will be sent. The Visualizer may use this signal to present a final display for this integration process.

destroy

void destroy()

Fully turn off the visualizer. This should include closing all open windows if any have been opened.

submit

void submit(VisualizerData data)

Send a data object to the visualizer. The visualizer may extract any data relevant to its taks.

Parameters:

data - object containing data about the current state of the integration process
