Second Demo

June 3, 2008

For our second demo, the goal was to implement an application that simulates dataflow between functions with different numbers of inputs and outputs. We achieved this by extending our first demo and adding input and output points on each box. As well, we visualized the flow of data between boxes by having each box indicate when it receives input and when it sends along output.

Very brief instructions:
1. Drag boxes from the left panel to the right panel
2. Create connections between boxes by clicking on the red circles of two different boxes on different levels
3. Click on the “Layout Mode” button to switch to Dataflow mode
4. Double click on any box to simulate data flowing through that box to its children

For more detailed usage information, click on the Instructions button on the application.
