Lucy is a LuciadLightspeed Essential component. It is a powerful high-level application framework for rapidly building applications that let you explore, analyze, and edit all kinds of geospatial data. Lucy is based on LuciadLightspeed, and integrates the functionality of LuciadLightspeed and many of its components in a configurable application.

Lucy comes with a lot of common GIS functionality already built in. All that functionality is available in LuciadLightspeed as well, but there you still have to write all the boilerplate code to tie it all together. If you use Lucy, you get all that code for free.

The Lucy end user applications serve as a demonstration of this benefit. They are full-fledged geospatial applications, come in 3 GUI varieties, and remain fully extensible and customizable.
