| The Development Environment Portal |
| The LabVIEW Development Environment, also known as an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), is the set of programming tools to develop in the G programming language. The development environment consists of multiple open windows for the different components. This is reminiscent of its initial programming for Apple Macintosh. Many other applications written originally for Apple and then adapted for Microsoft Windows follows the same UI architecture (i.e. Adobe Photoshop).
However, the LabVIEW NXG IDE provides a Multiple Document Interface (MDI) where separate panes or tabs exist for the different components but in one window. In LabVIEW NXG many of the panes or tabs can be docked or undocked to create multiple open windows. |
