The software developed under NEXTSTEP, originally called Graph Builder, was changed and morphed into Vvidget which now runs under Mac OS X
. In addition, it was redesigned many times and grew into a multithreaded and process distributed presentation system which acts as a service, as well as indigenous framework, to specialized applications and innovative information visualization systems.
Noting that the wealth in software is actually retained in experiences of its users, Vvidget has been made freeware so that the community of scientists and engineers can exercise its unique and intricate features.
