[comp.graphics.visualization] Help urgently needed in Graphics display

pau@stan.xx.swin.oz.au (CHANG P) (04/29/91)

Hi everyone,

We are running large, and some small, simulation programs (weather models, 
geomechanics model, signal processing etc) on different multiprocessor
systems. Lately it becomes necessary for us to present the numerical
output of the runs on a colour graphics on X-window terminals.

To explain it clearer, this is what we want to acheive:

						Some 'smart' X-Window
						software package
								|
								|
								|
	Numerical output from		V			Colour Visual Graphics		
	application program -------> -------->	Display on X-window 	
	runs						     |		terminal
									 |
									 |--->	Plotter/Laser-printer


The numerical output may or may not in postscript form. 
What I like to find out is how to do it:

	Does such a 'smart' X-window software exist? If it does, or
	there is something similar, could you please email/reply to me?

I heard that there was something like a 'postscript-to-sunview'
software for the SUNs. Although I stated 'smart', I expect
that some X-window programming would be involved.
	
Could someone please help me? Please suggest any software that
can do the job, or ease the task. I am VERY new in Graphics and
X-window environment, so any advice will help.

Your contribution will be very much appreciated.

You might try apE from the Ohio Supercomputer Center.  It's a general 
visualization package that may meet your needs.  You can get information
from apE@apE.ogsp.osc.edu.  They ask for $75 for a tape with sources and
sun4 and sgi binaries.

you can get a license for apE for free now.  if it is for a NeXT, they may have  
you send an optical disk. for the binaries.
