Introduction

This section presents a set of recipes for performing common operations using DX.

• The first recipe (Section ) introduces the basic operation of the DX visual programming editor. You should follow this example to learn the minimum basics of using DX.

• The second and third examples (Sections  and respectively) describe how to prepare gridded and particle data for input to DX. Before an external data file can be imported into DX you must prepare a header file describing it. These recipes describe this process.

• The remaining recipes present simple networks for performing common types of visualisations. Though simple, the networks are complete and self-contained; they include all the steps that are necessary to perform the visualisation. In these cases, in a sense, the network is the recipe.
