=How it works=
Line 34 ⟶ 21:
 
The stand alone TuPLOT viewer uses Python (the package installed with ArcGIS) as a base for the viewer. ArcGIS and the TuPLOT viewer communicate using an interface file (*.int) that is written by ArcMap and read by TuPLOT. The *.int file is written automatically when TuPLOT is initiated and deleted when TuPLOT is closed. If TuPLOT crashes, the *.int file may not be deleted. If this occurs many times, a build up of *.int files may occur in the same folder as the *.tpc. The user should feel free to delete these manually if this occurs without fear of interfering the the TuPLOT viewer. The user may also manually select a desired *.int file using the <b>Set Interface File</b> button in the TuPLOT window, though generally this should not be required.
 
The stand alone TuPLOT viewer is also planned to be made available in both QGIS and Mapinfo.
