Greetings, I have often wished that an IDV display could be viewed in a web browser with all the interactivity present in the IDV. A Java Applet is one way this could be done. My suggestion is different than Pauls, if I'm not missing something. Paulseems to suggest a Java Applet that would be almost a completely functional IDV,
while I am suggesting an Applet that would just present and manipulate anIDV display. Perhaps, after a display is created in the IDV, it could be saved
as an Applet (similar to saving a bundle, image, or movie) ? Bill Fingerhut On 5/20/2013 12:41 AM, Paul Graham wrote:
Hi Everyone, It would be great to use IDV as a Java Applet, but given that Java Applets have fallen out of favour in recent years and most up-to-date browsers block them, due to security issues, I wondered if it might be possible to develop a Javascript version of the IDV based on something like WebGL? It is interesting to note that EarthGL: http://gher-diva.phys.ulg.ac.be/EarthGL/doc , has an IDV-like globe display, but I think the data is served up via WMS rather than being directly read-in from netcdf or grib files. So perhaps this is more a question to IDV developers: are there any plans to develop an applet-like IDV that could be run in a web browser?
