Abstract:

Talk for http://carma.newcastle.edu.au/meetings/evims/

In computer algebra we only have a limited set of tools available for visualization. On the level of active research there are basically no ready-made solutions available. That is why in semigroup theory we had to unite our forces and start developing a new visualization package specialized for discrete mathematical structures. In this talk we summarize the design principles (instant visualization and publication quality figures) and some of the implementation techniques of the Viz package.
