Subject:	Visualization of data. Are there ftp'able PD programs for this?

Hello Netters!

  I have a simple question that has (hopefully) a simple answer.  I have
data (basically triples of coordinates, and momenta, as a function of a
discrete fixed time step).  I would like to view this data as spheres with
lines between nearest neighbors, viewing each image in sequence, as if it
were a movie.  That is not all though... I would like to navigate through
these points to look at specific locations in this lattice, to watch the
local time evolution of the lattice.  I do not need the momentum
information displayed, though it would be nice.  An interactive interface is
essential.
  The viewing platforms should be either PC's (DOS/Windows/OS/2 machines),
Unix boxes (X based, Textronix, other...), or Vax VMS.  The code should be
low cost (I am a grad student, and have no grant supporting me), and
hopefully in fortran (though I will live with C if needed).
  I had thrown together a quick-and-dirty visualizer in fortran that does
only a little of what I need, and I would prefer neither to re-invent the
wheel, nor spend about a month developing/testing it (I will do so, only if
I have to).
  Does anyone have suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
