This paper describes a flexible approach to managing widgets. The need for widget management arises in multilayered 3-D software called Glisten. Glisten is typically used for rendering glyphs that encode statistics. Color control, size control and multiple filtering widgets provide dynamic control of the transformation from variables into properties of 2-D point or 3-D sphere glyphs. More complex glyphs and multiple layers of glyphs used to represent many variables can result in widgets proliferation. Widget management allows the analyst to easily select, hide, and rearrange widgets to help focus on active widgets and minimize distraction. One live example will show rendering control for statistics associated with peptide docking on immune system molecules. Another will show a 3-D protein backbone and statistics related to protein tessellating tetrahedra indexed by amino acids. Glisten with widgets, rotation, zoom and other features provides an interesting environment fo! r rendering protein features and statistics in the same 3-D view.
