ABSTRACT:
Numerical data values are analyzed, organized, and stored for retrieval and rendering on a graphics display system. Numerical data arrays are organized for rapid access and display using graphical transforms. Scientific data is transformed into concurrently displayed translucent three dimensional contour surfaces allowing analysis of multi-dimensional data. Display management functions are provided for viewing transformed data in three dimensional form, as cut by specified plane or as viewed over time by using short time delays between related displays to provide a movie-like presentation. Input data may be accepted from an operator by the visualization manager for redirecting or steering an underlying numerical simulation.
