Can anybody tell me the price range of apE for non-academic institutions, i.e. corporations? How about AVS? Kats

The difference is only in the verbage of the license (precisely the difference I don't recall, but even that wasn't much). --steve -- H.

We have wireframe models of neurons that have been reconstructed from microscope
data. The wireframes are a series of polylines, each polyline recpresenting the
cell's boundary at a slice through the cell at that particular depth
(z distance). We would like to be able to graphically manipulate collections
of cells and then to render the cells with surfaces and shading, etc. The
Wavefront personal visualizer on the SGI personal Iris could certainly do great
things for us, but we don't know what the data format is for this program.
Alternatively, we have received a copy of a program called SYNU, written by
Dave Hessler at the UCSD supercomputing center, which can render cells that
are described by a traingular mesh. Ideally we would like to be able to
convert between these programs, and both programs can accept data
in MOVIE.BYU format. Where can I get MOVIE.BYU and the data formats for
both MOVIE.BYU and Wavefront's personal visualizer?

I have seen a number of programs that understand this format so its probably worth knowing. So does anybody know the file formats for the personal visualizer? david blythe ontario centre for large scale computation drb@clsc.utoronto.ca
