PDT Java SDK

Who is this product for?

The PDT Java Software Development Kit (SDK) is for developers who wish to integrate Pliable Display Technology into Java stand-alone applications and web-based applets.

What is Pliable Display Technology (PDT)?

PDT is a visualization technology that enhances current user interfaces by providing users with a more intuitive and efficient means of visualizing and interacting with raster and vector data.

Why Integrate the PDT Java SDK?

Compiled by a team of experts in the fields of information visualization, Human-Computer Interfaces (HCI), and computer graphics, the PDT Java SDK is a solution that puts IDELIX partners' products at the forefront of usability.

New Java development tools are coming on the market to facilitate the building of visual front ends to back end data repositories. The PDT Java SDK is a natural fit with core Java imaging and graphics capabilities. By integrating PDT, our customers enhance and expand the visualization capabilities of their existing software applications. The PDT Java SDK is highly optimized 100% Java code, intended for true cross-platform use. The PDT Java SDK allows the user to view layers of vector or raster data with an interactive PDT lens. PDT lenses enable detail-in-context data interaction. Studies have shown that detail-in-context is more efficient than existing visualization tools when working with complex or detailed data.
