Demonstrations

Anomaly Detection

Demonstration of running the new WFAU/U.Pitt Anomaly Detection algorithm through the AstroGrid workbench, and send the results to Topcat via Plastic for further analysis.

Astroscope Demonstration

Shows the features of Astroscope - searching, viewing of results, service information, plastic integration.

Helioscope Demonstration

Shows the usage of Helioscope - specify start and end times, browse results, select some to save to disk.

Myspace Browser

Demonstration of using the myspace browser, saving files to local disk, and displaying data from myspace in Topcat.

Registry Browser

Demonstration of using the workbench Registry Browser to explore a VO registry; shows following of links to webpages giving further information; links to search forms; emailing contacts; following cross-references.

Science Workflow

Demonstration of launching the SDSS DR4 Science workflow, monitoring progress, and viewing the execution transcript.

Science Workflow Results

Second part of the Science Workflow Demonstration: Inspect progress of the workflow in Lookout, view transcript, and then load the results into Topcat and Aladin

Task Launcher Demonstration

Demonstration of calling an XMM catalog from the Task Launcher, monitoring progress in Lookout, and then displaying the result (via PLASTIC) in Topcat.

Topcat and TabView

Shows Topcat sending a VOTable to TabView (a very simple table viewer), followed by the user selecting a row subset in TabView, which is then highlighted in Topcat. This example is slightly artificial, as Topcat has all the capabilities of TabView and more, but is a good illustration of how Plastic can be used to tie two applications together.
