Abstract
VISAGE is a scientific visualization system implemented in an object-oriented, message passing environment. The system includes over 500 classes ranging from visualization and graphics to Xlib and Motif user interface. Objects are created using compiled C and interact through an interpreted scripting language. The result is a flexible yet efficient system that has found wide application in our user community. This paper describes the object architecture and the major issues we faced when designing the visualization classes. Sample applications are also described.Keywords
