Does anybody know if there is an NCSA imagetool program for the SGI ? If so where can I get it, if not is there some analogous software available ? Thanks FHE eeckman@mozart.llnl.gov

They also have a program for the iris for displaying 2 dimensional bivariate data as height-colour images. This stuff is ftp'able from zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu You can get an AVS-like program called apE from the Ohio Supercomputer centre for approx $75. Send mail to michelle@osgp.osc.edu for more details. SGI ships a stripped down version of VoxelView from Vital Images with the higher-end machines (i.e. everythign but PI's) which is useful for volume data. They also ship a stripped down version of some of wavefront's software called the personal visualizer. From arizona theres a program called IRISPLOT which can plot surfaces and what not and let you manipulate it interactively. ftp from connemara.math.arizona.edu There are various public domain ray-tracing packages available (rayshade and dkb are worth looking at) ftp from cs.uoregon.edu BRL has a comprehensive package, BRL-CAD. you can get more information about it from vgr.brl.mil. Others have mentioned raytracers customized for molecular modelling etc, but I haven't seen any ftp addresses yet. There's other stuff available, but this should keep you busy for a while. david blythe ontario centre for large scale computation drb@clsc.utoronto.ca
