The AIPS++ Display Library, or more properly the display package of AIPS++, is a sophisticated class library for static and interactive display of scientific - predominantly astronomical - data. The display package also includes an interface to Glish which is loaded on-demand into the glishtk client.1 The highest-level component of the package - the Viewer tool - is implemented as a set of Glish scripts, and is a genuine AIPS++ tool providing display services within the AIPS++ environment for many kinds of data.
The purpose of this document is firstly to give the reader a high-level outline of the Library - an outline not possible in the framework of the AIPS++ class documentation - and secondly to give practical advice on extending the package in a number of ways, for example to work with new display devices, to display new types of data, or to display existing types of data in new ways.
