High interactive graphics in statistics (e.g., GGobi, CCMap) involves a lot of linking between plots in order to provide users with better insights about the data. However to implement this feature effectively requires a special technique. Model-View-Controller, and more recently Model-View-Presenter, are two very popular interactive software paradigms that are particularly suited to the job, and their success are largely attributed to this fundamental idea. This talk is split into two parts. The first aims to provide an introduction to this special technique, while the second part gives an overview of Taligent's MVP, the first and foremost, yet the least understood version of the paradigm.
