Summary
Abstract: More Information: http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/vis5d.html

Vis5D is a system for interactive visualization of large 5-D gridded data sets
such as those produced by numerical weather models. One can make isosurfaces,
contour line slices, colored slices, volume renderings, etc of data in a 3-D
grid, then rotate and animate the images in real time. There's also a feature
for wind trajectory ... View entire text

ENVIRONMENT
Quality Vis5D development has ceased at SSEC, but continues as the Vis5d+ Project on
SourceForge. This was initiated by Steven Johnson of MIT and now includes Jim
Edwards, the NCAR visualization team and others. We will continue to serve our
older versions of Vis5D but recommend Vis5d+.
Use Constraints System Requirements
Vis5D 5.1, the most recent version, works with the following systems:

* Silicon Graphics workstations with IRIX 5.x or later. Multiple CPUs are
