Experimenting with the Navigator
 
The Navigator provides an easy-to-use graphical interface for performing visual data analysis. It consists of a collection of high-level components called VDA Tools. The Navigator lets you perform many of the tasks that normally require the expertise of an experienced PV‑WAVE programmer.
The Navigator allows you to:
*Import and export data
*Preview ASCII data files
*Display 2D plots, images, histograms, surfaces, and contour plots
*Animate data
*View and subset tables of data
*Save and restore sessions
*View and select variables
*Modify image and plot colors
