论文摘要
Javaview可视化框架是在1990年代末设计的，它是一种软件，在网页上提供了简单的，交互式的几何可视化。我们讨论如何实现此目标和其他设计目标，并提出多个应用程序，以突出该框架的当代用例。但是，由于Javaview的Easy Web导出是基于Java applet的，因此该技术的贬低使软件的一个主要功能削弱了。本文的其余部分使用Javaview作为一个示例来突出基础编程语言对可视化工具包的变化的影响。我们讨论了软件对此类挑战的可能反应，其中Javaview框架是说明开发决策的示例。这些讨论以更广泛的，基本的问题为指导，即维护软件有多长时间。
The JavaView visualization framework was designed at the end of the 1990s as a software that provides - among other services - easy, interactive geometry visualizations on web pages. We discuss how this and other design goals were met and present several applications to highlight the contemporary use-cases of the framework. However, as JavaView's easy web exports was based on Java Applets, the deprecation of this technology disabled one main functionality of the software. The remainder of the article uses JavaView as an example to highlight the effects of changes in the underlying programming language on a visualization toolkit. We discuss possible reactions of software to such challenges, where the JavaView framework serves as an example to illustrate development decisions. These discussions are guided by the broader, underlying question as to how long it is sensible to maintain a software.
