Hi everyone,

I have a large simulation program which produces output data
(irregular positions and velocity data) at a rate of a few
points per second. I wonder if it is possible to have dx display
these data and continuously update this display (i.e. have a "online 
3D-display" of my data as they are created).

I have browsed through most of the documentation but found no
"obvious" way to do this. Most explanations and examples deal with
the visualization of a fixed set of data from a file. I could,
of course, create a file from my data, but this would limit my
possibilities to interact with the simulation (i.e. parameters
could only be modified for the next simulation run).

The simulation side would be quite obvious: I could employ the
DXLink facilities to start dx from the simulation and feed positions
and data (and connections?) via DXLSetValue to one or more DXLInput
modules on the dx side. What I am unsure about is the required 
structure on the dx side. Is any of the predefined modules able
to "add" or "append" these data to the data accumulated so far?
Or would I have to code a module myself to acomplish this?

I am quite new to dx, and perhaps I am missing something obvious.
Any help or hint would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
