    ...who produce useful tools for data visualisation? Advanced Visual Systems

    I can't see them being pleased with a different meaning for the AVS acronym...

  3. Re:Engineers & Visulisation by Becquerel · · Score: 1 · on Use of Math Languages and Packages in Research?

    I'm in civil engineering research and we do most of our stuff (mainly Finite Element Analysis) in Fortran (95) as it provides a nice bridge between the more mathsey Matlab, etc and the more hardcore c++,etc. It does pretty much everything I need it for.

    The trouble with most accademic programming is that once the app is programmed, in whatever language, the results need to be visualised. In Matlab (and nodoubt other similar) Visualisation is relatively straightforward, giving good results quickly and easily. Wheras Fortrans graphics options are very limited and vairly complex, so it is easier to use an external visualiser, like AVS Express, which is very powerful, and makes viewing 3D data a doddle.

    Want MatLab for Linux? Don't want to pay? Try Octave. It's free, works with gnuplot, and uses many of the same commands as MatLab(you can use your matlab scripts etc with octave with very little editing). Very nice for students who don't want to pay $199 for a software package that they'll use for one quarter and will grow old.

    AVS? Not sure what that is. But Google turned up a link that referenced avs.com. Perhaps this will help.

    AVS has a GUI very like this (see the second picture on the right, unfortunately a little small). It is a really fantastic way of specifying data transforms and visualisation, and could be generalised into a nice generic piping mechanism. Control panels (dials, sliders and so on) can be inserted to modify the data stream, and there are bindings for writing your own modules. The connectors are colour-coded (in the manner of resistors) so that you can't hook them up incorrectly. Most tasks can be done entirely with the mouse....

  7. OpenDX by JeremyNobody · · Score: 1 · on IBM's "Deep Computing"

    This could kill off specialist Viz companies like AVS. Unless they refocus around consulting and services. I'll definitely be downloading DX tomorrow.
