PDT C++ SDK

Who is this product for?

The PDT C++ Software Development Kit (SDK) enables developers to enhance and expand the visualization capabilities of their existing software applications.

What is Pliable Display Technology (PDT)?

PDT is a visualization technology that enhances current user interfaces by providing users with a more intuitive and efficient means of visualizing and interacting with raster and vector data.

Why Integrate the PDT SDK?

Developed by a team of experts in the fields of information visualization, Human-Computer Interfaces (HCI), and computer graphics, the PDT C++ SDK is a solution that puts IDELIX partners' products at the forefront of usability. The PDT C++ SDK is written in C++ and also features COM and .NET interfaces to facilitate easy integration with applications written in languages other than C++.
