Using Visualizer:
The Vector Tutorial
The installer will create a folder called "c:/VisualizerTutorial".
Inside that folder is a file named "_StartVisualizer.htm".
Open this file in
Internet Explorer, FireFox, or Opera9 to start the
tutorial. Make sure the security settings in your browser are set to
allow Java.
Run Visualizer as an Application:
To run the application in the stand-alone mode go to the folder: C:\VisualizerTutorial\VectorILDs.
You can run the application by double clicking on any of the .Vis
files located in that folder.
The collection of .Vis files located in the VectorILDs folder are
pre-prepared Visualizer state files
which correspond to various steps in used in the Vector Interactive
Lecture Demo series.
Lecture Demo presenter notes and user prediction forms can be found
as MS-Word documents in the VectorILD folder.
To start Visualizer in the default state double click on the batch
file: "C:\VisualizerTutorial\runVisualizer.bat".
If .Vis files cannot be started by double clicking the problem can
usually be corrected by editing the "runVisualizer.bat" file.
