#!N The second example which we will discuss is maptoplane.c. This 
sample program starts the Data Explorer user interface in  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   -edit 
#!EF mode, and then loads a visual program (see  #!Lmap2pla130,dxall1144 f Figure 130  #!EL  ).

The visual program contains two DXLInput tool which can receive values 
from the DXLink program. One is named  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   file_to_import #!EF , 
and the other is named  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   maptoplane_point #!EF . The DXLink 
program sends the filename to  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   file_to_import #!EF , and then 
sends several different values to  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   maptoplane_point #!EF . The program 
is run and for each execution, statistics are computed on the 
resulting MapToPlane. The maximum value on the plane is passed to 
a DXLOutput tool labeled  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   maptoplane_max #!EF . In maptoplane.c, a 
handler has been installed for output coming from  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   maptoplane_max #!EF 
, and the handler simply prints the value to the terminal.
