  • Image View: displays N-dimensional images and spectra, allowing for zoom, rotation, pan, axis-inversion, colormap manipulation, scaling, etc.
  • Table View: displays PDS4 character and binary data tables, including arbitrarily nested GROUP fields (sub-tables).
  • Plot View: Not currently available but in the future will allow plotting columns against each other.
  • Label View: Easy, human-readable, access to meta-data (such as structure labels, display settings and spectral characteristics, etc.)
