Section 24.3.3.6.  Vista

Vista reads geometrical table(s) generated by Quest3D and provides extensive facilities for the graphical representation and statistical analysis of the numerical data. Graphical facilities include histograms and scattergrams referred to Cartesian or polar axes, with a hyperlink back to the original CSD entries to permit immediate investigation of, e.g., outlying observations. The contents of plots can be edited interactively, and all illustrations can be output in PostScript format for inclusion in reports and publications. Additionally, Vista will generate descriptive statistics for a distribution, carry out simple linear regressions and perform principal-component analyses.
