Examples of CDF Applications

Many applications have been created to support the NSSDC Common Data Format (CDF) data standard. CDF can be used in a wide variety of application areas, some of which we have examples below.

CWIT Visualization

1. Screen snap shot from the CDF Windows Imaging Tool (CWIT). CWIT is available for MS-Windows with equivalent applications for Macintosh and UNIX platforms.


Virtual COHO

2. Sample screen capture of a 3-D visualization with Virtual COHO using the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML).


COHOWeb Plot

3. Sample plot generated with the NSSDC COHOWeb World Wide Web (WWW)-based Data System for analyzing and retrieving CDFs remotely. See also NSSDC OMNIWeb for another WWW-based Data System. IDL is used by both systems to generated the plots of the CDF data sets.


CDAWeb Plot

4. Visualization created with the CDAWeb IDL-based tool that can access any data in CDF conforming to the ISTP guidelines.
