IRIS Explorer Seminar

Resources

Some resources for using Explorer:

• IRIS Explorer User's Guide. This gives detailed information about Explorer and using it. There's more than you need to know here but if you get in a jam it might be useful. It is available:

  • in the IRIS InSight Library

    You can access this from the toolchest on the desktop. (The toolchest is probably in the upper left-hand corner of your screen.) Look in the Help menu under Online Books. Either search the titles for Explorer or scroll down the book list to the section SGI_EndUser and find it there (double-click to open). The good thing about using Insight is that you can search over selected books or within a book, instead of flipping through hardcopy (though a physical book is easier to read).

  • at http://www.nag.com/0/visual/IE/iecbb/DOC/UG/CONTENTS.html

    This is for version 3.0 of Explorer, and we are running v. 2.2.2, so we don't have some of the features discussed here, but in general things are very close to what we have.

• NAG IRIS Explorer Home Page.

  The Numerical Algorithms Group now produces Explorer. At this North American site you can find the above manual (and the other two Explorer manuals, which you aren't likely to need now), as well as a Tutorial . Again, the tutorial is for a more recent version, but it is still similar, and may be helpful.

• Main NAG IRIS Explorer Center

  The main NAG site is over in the UK, and is over a slow transatlantic link. They have the above documentation as well as links to other stuff (including MultiDimensional-MultiSensor/MultiModality Biomedical Imaging and Processing which we won't cover here).

• Explorer newsgroup comp.graphics.apps.iris-explorer. Its usually best to read the FAQ before asking a qustion on a newsgroup, just to see if it is a common one already answered.
