This is the user manual and help file for the DeVIDE software package. DeVIDE is the open source Delft Visualisation and Image processing Development Environment.
The software was designed for the rapid prototyping and testing of visualisation and image
processing techniques. All functionality is packaged in the form of modules. One of the ways
in which these modules can be used, is to make use of the DeVIDE Graph Editor, where
glyphs, representing modules, can be connected up to form functional data-processing
networks. A key feature is that any code object can be accessed and interacted with in real-
time. This enables both module writers and users of the Graph Editor to experiment with for
example all parameters and even the logic behind a running piece of functionality.
DeVIDE is available as open source under the terms of the new BSD license. Binaries are
usually made available for the Windows and Linux platforms.
The main website of this software is at http://visualisation.tudelft.nl/Projects/DeVIDE . Please
go there for links to more documentation, the GoogleCode project site, the mailing list and the
news blog.
This manual is in a perpetual state of being under heavy construction. The Graph Editor
and Useful Patterns sections are especially useful and should be read before you start working
with the software.
