- Software and Visualization Sampler
- CD ROM
-
- This CD ROM, from Los Alamos National Lab., contains a potpourri of examples
- of scientific visualizations, image manipulation software, and a multimedia
- publication system. The CD ROM can be read by any computer that accepts ISO
- 9660 format. Images on the CD ROM, which are stored in LZW-compressed, 24
- bit/pixel TIFF format, can be read and displayed on any platform, using
- appropriate software. Programs on the CD ROM, however, can only be run on
- Macintosh, NeXT, and Sun platforms.
-
- Images on the CD ROM represent visualizations of simulations of climate and
- ocean modeling, turbulent flow, material fracture, and molecular dynamics.
- Some images are "movies" i.e., temporally ordered sequences of visualizations.
- Notable among these is a simulation of the long term climatological effects of
- the Iraq-initiated Kuwait oil well fires. All images are accompanied by descriptive text and appropriate attributions.
-
- Programs and libraries on the CD ROM include a still image and movie sequence
- viewer for the Macintosh, a wavelet-based image compression and decompression
- program, which can run on a Sun and other platforms, and the source to the
- SLATEC Common Mathematical Library. The latter is a comprehensive set of portable, non-proprietary mathematical routines.
-
- Also included on the CD ROM is MediaView, a general, digital multimedia
- publishing system for the NeXT computer. MediaView has been used to prepare a
- wide variety of documents in many disciplines, several of which are included on the disk.
-
- A quick note regarding the translation to the ISO 9660 standard. An effort
- was made to keep the data portion of this disc strictly ISO 9660 compliant.
- Because of the level 1 restriction of file name length, however, certain file
- names in the source trees of this disc had to be modified. For this reason,
- translation table files are provided to make the copying of files easier.
- These translation files (named "YMTRANS.TBL") are in every directory and
- are ASCII readable. In the YM_UTILS directory, there exists software in
- source form that can copy the files off the CD-ROM and onto a hard disk
- directory into it's original file name before ISO 9660 name translation
- was done. Instructions on use and compilation also exists in the
- YM_UTILS directory. In general, these programs will not be needed. They
- should only be necessary if the reader wishes to look at files in the source
- trees in their original form.

- For additional information on images and programs, contact the person
- acknowledged in the corresponding *.TXT file.
