#!N #!I30 #!N 1. Open (but do not execute) visual program 
.../Animate.net. #!N #!I30 #!N 2. Select  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Sequencer #!EF from the 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Execute #!EF pull-down menu. Note that both the Loop and 
Palindrome buttons in the control panel are already activated (recessed). #!N 
#!I30 #!N 3. Click on the Forward button (>): the visual 
program executes. The Image window opens and the image begins to 
run continuously through an "animation" sequence in which a data slice 
changes position. #!N #!I30 #!N 4. Click on the Stop button 
(&sqbul.). #!N #!I30 #!N 5. Disconnect the leftmost  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   AutoColor #!EF 
icon from  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Image #!EF and connect the left output tab 
of the other  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   AutoColor #!EF icon to  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Image #!EF 
. #!N #!I30 #!N 6. Click on the Forward button (>) 
again. The animation sequence shows a set of streamlines growing longer 
and then shorter and then repeating the process. #!N #!I30 #!N 
7. Disconnect  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   AutoColor #!EF from  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Image #!EF and connect 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Isosurface #!EF to  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Image #!EF . #!N #!I30 #!N 
8. Click on the Forward button (>). The sequence is that 
of a continuously changing isosurface. #!N #!I30 #!N 9. Click on 
the Stop button (&sqbul.) to halt the sequence. #!N #!I0 #!N

User's Reference. Note: In this example, a transmitter and several receivers 
are used to make "invisible" connections between tools. The  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   frame 
#!EF tool below the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Sequencer #!EF icon is a transmitter. 
The other  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   frame #!EF tools are receivers. Receivers and transmitters 
belong to the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Special #!EF category of tools (see IBM 
Visualization Data Explorer User's Reference). #!N #!N #!N  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   Next Topic
