We have an Integrated Solutions 68020 machine which is being used for
theoretical astrophysics calculations. Our users desire software
to be able to plot and examine the model results. Many of the results
are 3-d so the software must handle this. We already have plot10
software and gnuplot and have access (on another system) to the NCAR
package but we want to explore if there is other useful stuff out there.
Specifically, we know we can buy GKS and DI-3000 packages which already
run on ISI equipment. However, none of us know anything about these
packages.
Would people who know anything about these packages please E-MAIL to me
why they would choose one of these over the other, WHY (this last
question is very important since we want an informed decision), and
things we should consider in choosing a package. Also, there seems
to be basic and extended versions of both these packages -- how do
each of these differ? Can you suggest another, more suitable graphics
package?
Our level of knowledge on the subject of graphics packages is quite low
so please take that into account in your answers.
PLEASE do not burden the whole net with your replies but instead send e-mail.
Thanks in advance.
