Two packages of free software which run on older Iris models: Data Visualization Tools for the Silicon Graphics Workstations from the Princeton University Interactive Computer Graphics Laboratory This software was written to enable the graphic representation of many different kinds of data. It is intended to help one better understand the data by revealing patterns and characteristics, both simple and complex, that may be contained in the data. This suite of tools is particularly useful for visualizing two dimensional arrays of data values. That is, any program or instrument which produces output in the form of a table of numbers with some number of rows and columns produces data which can be analyzed by these graphics tools. Multiple planes of tables can be studied one plane at a time or by putting several planes on the screen individually but simultaneously. Available by anonymous ftp to itnsg1.cineca.it; and interactive software for visualizing trajectories of simple dynamical sytems in phase space, comes with extensive tutorial exercises for learning concepts of nonlinear dynamics, available from bnlux0.bnl.gov (soon from bnlux1.bnl.gov) in ~ftp/pub/chaos.tar.Z. -- comp.archives file verification bnlux0.bnl.gov -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 364459 Apr 30 09:48 /pub/chaos.tar.Z found iris-chaos ok bnlux0.bnl.gov:/pub/chaos.tar.Z
