An external viewer is an application called by a browser to display types of graphics, video or audio not otherwise supported by the browser. In Netscape Navigator, viewers are configured using the Helper Applications tabsheet of the General Preferences property sheet on the Options menu. In Internet Exporer, most standard viewers are pre-configured using File Type registration, which is accessible through the Options property sheet on the View menu.
Viewers are structures managing the graphical display of the data. In Mayday 1.1 three viewers are available: profile plot, expression image and box plot. (see Section 3.6)

A viewer is a software application or tool designed to display a specific type of file (usually one that contains something other than text) that your web browser normally can't display on its own. There are viewers to display graphics files, and to play sound or video files.
Specialized software that is designed to display or process data encoded according to a specified fromat (e.g., MIME type). Often used as helper applications on the Web.
Most browsers use helper applications, sometimes called "viewers," to display full-size graphics and play sound and video clips. These are separate applications that the browser initiates after it has downloaded the image or clip. These applications generally need to be acquired separately. The most complete collection of these applications is at ftp:// ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in the /Web/Mosaic/Mac/Helpers, /Web/Mosaic/Unix/viewers and /Web/Mosaic/Windows/viewers directories. | français
