Modules are loaded using the module chooser. There are two ways
to access the module chooser.
- If a module is not currently loaded, you can click the "Load
Module" button in the main window.
- At any time, you can select File > Load Module... to access
the module chooser.
The module chooser provides a list of modules to choose
from. Some modules may be in categories. Categories are
indicated by a folder icon. To expand or collapse a category,
double click it. You can click on a module to view an abstract
of what the module is about. To load a selected module, click
OK.
After choosing a module using the module chooser, the exposition
should be opened in your preferred PDF file
viewer. (
PDF help) When you are done with the
exposition, you can click in the main window to view the
visualization. If you want to view the exposition or common
definitions at any time during the visualization, you can click
the appropriate button on the left side of the window. There is
also a button to restart the visualization.
Where can I get a PDF file viewer application?
Adobe offers a free viewer
application called Acrobat Reader for
download
(Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux are supported).
An error is displayed instead of displaying a PDF file.
Windows XP
"Windows cannot open this file"
The most likely cause of this error is that there is no
application available on the system to view PDF files. To
remedy this, you can
download Acrobat Reader for free from Adobe.
If you are confident that you have a PDF viewer
installed, you need to let Windows know which application to
use to open PDF files. You can do this by selecting "Select
the program from the list" and choosing your desire
application.
Mac OS X
"There is no default application specified to open the document"
This shouldn't happen on most Mac OS X machines because
the Preview application is associated with PDF files by
default. However, if this error does occur, you can click
the "Choose Application..." button and find your preferred
program.
If, for some reason, there is no PDF viewer installed on
your system, you can
download Acrobat Reader for free from Adobe.
I am using VCP as a applet on the web, and PDF files don't
load when then should.
This is probably due to pop-up blocking. VCP asks the browser
to load a PDF file in a new window, but most pop-up blocking
software thinks this is an unwanted pop-up. It is recommended
that you disable pop-up blocking for the site hosting the VCP
applet.
