The PV‑WAVE Gallery is a suite of sample PV‑WAVE applications. The entire Gallery program is written using PV‑WAVE to display a wide range of application areas appropriate for Visual Data Analysis, as shown in Figure 1-1: PV‑WAVE Gallery Example. The application code and data files are provided so you can extract parts of them and use them within your own applications.

The objective of the Gallery is to highlight the performance and flexibility of PV‑WAVE. While your own applications may be more or less elaborate, the Gallery helps you understand how PV‑WAVE helps users discover and understand the trends, anomalies, and relationships in their data.

Starting the PV‑WAVE Gallery is similar to starting up PV‑WAVE. First, set up the environment variables and then start the Gallery:

From a C shell:

where RW_DIR is the directory in which PV-WAVE is installed.
