Historically CoDaPack 3D has intended to be a software of Compositional Data with an easy and
intuitive way of use. For this reason from the beginning it has been associated to Excel, a software
known and used for many people. However, over the years different versions of Excel and
Windows have been appeared and CoDaPack has had to be adapted to these new versions due to
some incompatibilities.
For this reason, and also because of CoDaPack only works with Excel under windows, the
Girona Compositional Data Group has decided to implement a new software with at least the same
capabilities and the same profile of users but independent of any other software.
The graphical user interface has three different areas: The variables area, the data area and the
results area which has a textual output window and independent graphical output. Also, because the
new CoDaPack is being developed under Java code, the final software is going to work in any
platform having a Java Virtual Machine: Windows, Linux and other Unix based systems
