GAS, the Graphics Animation System, is a graphical animation software package developed in support of the work of the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) scientists at NASA Ames Research Center. GAS's purpose in the CFD graphical analysis software cycle is to provide an easy-to-use, menu-driven program providing fast, simple viewing capabilities as well as more complex rendering/animation features. It is used to display 2-D and 3-D objects along with computed data and to record animation sequences on various video digital disk, videotape, and 16mm film technologies. Written in c-language for IRIS 2000/3000 in 1988, Ported to IRIS 4.0 in 1991. Also see FAST (ARC-13316).
