Description

Lempel-Ziv Compression

Evaluation

The LZW portion is interactive and works well even though it only allows lowercase letters and digits. Some of the explanation gets cut-off but it can be useful for demonstrating examples in class. The visualization can't easily return to a previous step.

Description

Brief explanation of LZW coding, and an applet that attempts to illustrate the coding process.

Evaluation

The applet looks nice but is seems to be unfinished. It is not clear if the output is correct. The applet does not really explain what is going on.

Description

Slideshows showing small examples of LZW encoding and decoding.

Evaluation

This AV is frustrating to review. It almost works... but it can't quite get the fundamental idea across. More effort put into the explanation might get the job done, but the current implementation is not comprehensible. But it could be useful for illustrating an example during lecture.

HowToUse

For detailed instructions on how to install Animal and run Animal AVs, see: http://www.algoanim.info/Animal2/?q=node/290. Once you have installed the Animal .jar file and downloaded/unpacked the .zip file of Animal animations, you are now ready to run Animal. Run the .jar file to start Animal. Then go to the "Open" menu item, and browse to where you put the animal animations you got in the .zip file. Pick this AV from the list. You can then step through the animation, or use "kiosk mode" to have the steps fed to you at a constant pace.
