Loading modules/plugins during startup

Application overview

BI-Viewer represents all data sets, algorithms (including visualization algorithms, processing algorithms and analysis algorithms) as “nodes”.

BI-Viewer provides a large number of modules/plugins, and each module/plugin provides a specific set of functions for creation and operation in the interface.

Unlike modules/plugins that directly interact with each other, BI-Viewer contains more than 40 built-in modules/plugins, and other modules/plugins can be installed using plugin management.

Module Panel

The Properties window (located by default on the right side of the application’s main window) displays all the options and functions available to the user for the current module. The current module/node can be selected in the Project View.

Load data

Under the File menu in the menu bar, select Open Data.

Select the image file to open.

After loading successfully, the file properties window will pop up.

Interacting with views

BI-Viewer provides a variety of display modules, attribute adjustment functions, mouse, shortcut keys and other interactive methods.

Selecting displayed data

Select the data node, right-click to pop up the menu, select a Display module in the Display category, wait for the rendering to complete, and you can see the display result in the view window.
