Iris was written around data, that is, I thought it most pertinent to build a data management class and then wrap it up with a user interface and allow the user to do what they wish with their data. I sought to make Iris a MATLAB based application for ease of shareability, compatibility and extensibility. I took an object-oriented approach to designing the core mechanism and leveraged MATLAB's vectorized language in an attempt to simplify and encapsulate data in as few classes as possible. Over the years, the Iris UI has changed, moving first from traditional java based figures to the newer web-based figures, with minimal updates to the application core structure.
The Iris data core comprises a Datum class and its Handler.
The Iris user-interface is a collection of figure windows each served from a menu servicing class, which handles thier creation and desctruction from the main application. The UI is presented through the and the window, though the user may find that navigating larger datasets is easier through the .
