aiSee can be easily integrated into and intercommunicate with other applications. The Windows version communicates over a Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) channel, the Unix versions use user signals. aiSee features the concept of User Actions and allows commands to be associated with nodes. This means that nodes can be selected and their titles communicated to an application for processing. Examples of application scenarios are:

Webmastering A script processes HTML code, extracts hyperlinks and passes the information to aiSee. aiSee visualizes the linkage graph (see our Web-based demo). The user clicks on a graph node and an Internet browser (or his/her favorite HTML editor) pops up showing the actual content (or the source) of the corresponding page.

Editing graphs with aiSee

1. An application produces a GDL file and tells aiSee to display the graph.
2. The user selects two nodes, followed by applying a User Action "Delete Edge" or "Add Edge".
3. aiSee communicates the node titles back to the application which processes the GDL file, deletes or adds the edge, and tells aiSee to display the new graph.

aiSee allows up to four commands to be specified in the graph description. The user can then execute these commands by invoking the corresponding entries of the "Auxiliaries" menu. The command specified for

• User Action 1 and 2 takes no argument at all,
• User Action 3 takes one argument,
• User Action 4 takes a list of arguments.

The supplied arguments for User Action 3 and 4 are a node title or a list of node titles respectively, i.e. before these commands are executed the user has to click on a node or a set of nodes whose node titles are passed to the command.

The menu entries corresponding to the User Actions in the "Auxiliaries" menu can be specified as well.
