public class BasicIVCUserInterface

extends java.lang.Object

implements IVCUserInterface

This class creates a Graphical User Interface for the IVC. It uses the freeware Liquid LookAndFeel as default (see javax.swing.LookAndFeel) downloaded from http://liquidlnf.sourceforge.net. It will scan for plugins and add all installed plugins (algorithms, views, etc) to the menu bar. It also includes an output window on the background of the window, and all of the views and algorithms loaded will appear as internal frames.
