About
-----

ZINC is a browser extension for the Mozilla Platform that embeds the cmgui visualisation engine. It can be thought of as a plugin, but it is actually a very complex extension that also includes a plugin for rendering cmgui scenes into the web page.

Digitally signed:

Simple_cube_ (Cmiss example a1, working)

Heart_fibres_ (Cmiss example a3, working)

Heart_vessels_ (Cmiss example a4, working)

Not yet signed (require "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" privilege, see [Installation Instructions]):

Endoscope_animation_ (working)

Melanoma_heat_maps_ (working)

Boxfish_ (working)

Eye_model_ (mostly working, time dependent transformations need to be updated due to region/field changes so that the eye deforms and iris contracts)

Digitiser_ (mostly working, dicom images do not look as good due to changes in imagemagick libraries and filtering guis are being redeveloped to work with region/field changes)

Ecg_lab_ (not currently working, fields need to be updated due to region/field changes)

As well as running zinc applications from a webserver, you can also download them and run them locally.  See [How to run zinc applications locally] for more information.

See [ZINC applications info] for some history on the different applications.
