Hi Malcolm,

First, we would really welcome any contributions of new visualisation 
clients etc. to ECLiPSe! Unfortunately, I don't think it is very well 
documented how you do this...

lib(vc_support) is the ECLiPSe side support for implementing 
visualisation clients. I think the only documentation for this library 
is in the bips/reference manual (i.e. the stuff you can access via help/1).

I think there are some java doc style documentation for the Java code, 
for example, in Viewer.java. I don't really know how detailed it is, but 
if that is insufficient, I can only suggest looking at some of the 
viewer code, such as TableViewer.java.

The Java code uses the ECLiPSe Java interface, which is documented in 
the Embedding and Interfacing manual.

Hope this helps,

Kish
