 The calls of the '''dvr''' routines are contained within a PALM [wiki:/doc/app/packages software package]. To use this package, the additional option {{{-p 'dvrp_graphics'}}} has to be given in the '''mrun''' call. This automatically links the required libraries. Steering of the plot output is done via the [wiki:/doc/app/dvrpar dvr package parameters]. In contrast to all other PALM output, '''dvr''' graphic data are not output to local files but directly to a special remote computer which is defined via the package parameter [wiki:/doc/app/dvrpar#dvrp_host dvrp_host]. If the default values of the '''dvr''' parameters are used, data are send to a so-called streaming server at the RRZN. Apart from graphic data an additional html-file is created, which can be opened by an internet browser to view the data (a special '''dvr''' plugin is required for this). [[BR]] [[BR]]
