New MCREW Interface
  (revised)

Overview

The new MCREW interface is composed of three components, i.e. image view component, timeline view component and table view component. The image view and the timeline view components are coded from scratch while the table view component is derived and customerized from a commercial grid component. The image view component is used to identify the rotation in a multiple-subregion model. Each subregion has a view as above.
