Abstract
We present an object-oriented architecture of a visualization toolkit which integrates geometric modeling and behavioral modeling. It is based on sharing graphics objects between geometrical scene descriptions and descriptions for the flow of time and events. We discuss the properties graphics objects should possess in such a system so that they can be used by different rendering toolkits and can be linked to time- and event-dependent processes. We introduce a new methodology for the symmetric modeling of geometry and behavior based on geometry graphs and behavior graphs.
