Example: Visualization of flight path simplification

 

The following Java applets use the Assisting Visualization Framework to visualize a path simplification algorithm. The applets visualize the same program but with different Binding XML. First applet visualizes the program using a fighter jet to traverse the simplified path while the second one uses a Boeing 747 and thickened path and vertices.
