Visualization Utilities
xfpp3d
OpenGL/xforms-based program for animating 2- and
3-D particle motion.
Basic help is
available via
% xfpp3d -h
Refer to the above link for the help message, which includes
a definition of the input format.
Sample 20-body input file, input20. Use
% xfpp3d < input20
to view.
Sample 20-body input file, input20c, that
uses different colors for different particles. Use
% xfpp3d -c < input20c
to view.
Documentation describing the creation of mpeg
animations using this program is available HERE.
MATLAB / octave
function file nbodyout.m.
Function nbodyout
writes typical N-body output to file in the format expected
by xfpp3d. Note that this function file is installed in ~phys210/octave on hyper.
xflat2d
Open GL/xforms-based program for visualization of
two-dimensional binary valued lattices.
Basic help is available
via
% xflat2d -h
Refer to the above link for the help message, which includes
a definition of the input format.
Sample input file, inputlife, from Game of Life
simulation. Use
% xflat2d < inputlife
to view.
Documentation describing the creation of mpeg
animations using this program is available HERE.
xflat2d_rgb
Identical to xflat2d except that sites are colored
with an aribitrary color, specified as an 0.0 .. 1.0
normalized RGB triple (e.g. (0.0,1.0,0.0) is green
(1.0,1.0,1.0) is white etc.) that can change at each time
step.
Basic help is available
via
% xflat2d_rgb -h
Refer to the above link for the help message, which includes
a definition of the input format.
Sample usage
% xflat2d_rgb < input
Documentation describing the creation of mpeg
animations using this program is available HERE.
xvs
xvs is a visualization tool for analyzing,
among other things, the output of time-dependent PDEs in one
spatial dimension (or time dependent cuts of higher-d
solutions).
Some documentation for xvs is availabe HERE.
Contact the instructor or one of the TAs should you need
help.
DV
DV is a visualization server, similar in spirit to
xvs, but capable of visualizing 2-D and even 3-D
data. Basic online documentation is available HERE.
Information on using DV to make mpeg
animations is available HERE.
Contact the instructor of one of the TAs should you need
help.
