Date: Wed Sep 21 11:31:02 EDT 1994 Organization: University of WI, Madison -- Computer Sciences Dept. Lines: 64 The VIS-AD system for interactively visualizing and steering scientific computations is freely available by anonymous ftp. This system provides: * An interactive computational environment combining a flexible interpreted language with linkages to Fortran and C. * A data model that lets users design data types appropriate to their applications. * A novel and flexible way to visualize computations. VIS-AD includes a large number of example programs and data sets that demonstrate its flexibility. While it has been developed primarily to meet the needs of environmental scientists, its flexibility makes it useful to any scientists who develop algorithms or use computers to analyze data. Version 1.1 adds support for a greater variety of map projections than were available under Version 1.0, and support for user-defined map projections (in VIS-AD these are called sample sets and are finite samplings of 1-D, 2-D or 3-D real spaces). Version 1.1 of VIS-AD runs on Silicon Graphics workstation. Later versions will be ported to other vendors' workstations.
