Introduction

ManiVault Studio is a modular plug-in system intended for visualization of high-dimensional datasets. Its plugin-based nature allows for the creation of fully-customizable applications that can be tailored perfectly to your datasets.

The system consists of a compact core that provides a base application window, manages the datasets and plugin communication, as well as handle the saving and loading of projects.

The rest of the functionality of the system comes from fully self-contained plug-ins. These plug-ins can extend any of the following basic plug-in types:

• Data Plugin - Can be extended to support custom data formats.
• View Plugin - Can be extended to make custom visualizations of the data.
• Analysis Plugin - Can be extended to perform custom analytics on the data.
• Transformation Plugin - Can be extended to transform the data in-place.
• Loader/Writer Plugin - Can be extended to import or export custom data formats.
