The original visualization code was written by Dr. Stephen Chenney back in early 2011, for in-house use by the gtDMMB research group, in collaboration with Professor Christine Heitsch.
Considerable functionality and some very useful features, including the statistics analysis, were added by Georgia Tech students Anna Panlilio and Chris Mize under the direction of Dr. Shel Swenson over the course of the next two years. A snapshot of "version 1.0" as of Fall 2012 is still available.
Recently, GT Math PhD student Maxie D. Schmidt as her "Code goddess" alter ego (official group title) took the program to a whole new level, with important contributions from GT ACO PhD student Anna Kirkpatrick. GT Math Postdoc Iris Yoon provided extremely valuable user testing and feedback on the Mac platform.
