LinkWinds (Linked Windows Interactive Data System) is a visual data analysis and exploration system designed to rapidly and interactively investigate large multivariate and multidisciplinary data sets to detect trends, correlations and anomalies. An integrated UNIX-based multi-application execution environment with a full graphical user interface (GUI), LinkWinds is being developed on an object-oriented programming model implemented in the C language. It draws upon the Silicon GraphiCs Open GL-library for its GUI and graphics support software. This software system can be applied to a variety of scientific disciplines including geology, oceanography, atmospheric physics and chemistry, physical chemistry, cellular biology, meteorology and space plasmas. It provides a variety of functions and services including 2-D and 3-D graphic displays of data, hard copy of graphic displays and text, interactive color manipulation, animation creation and display, data subsetting either at the input or output, a journaled macro capability, context-sensitive help, and network support for collaborative data analysis.
