VEX: a volume exploratorium
Larry Gelberg, David Kamins, Jeff Vroom · 1989
We describe an integrated set of tools for interacting with volumetric data.These tools consist of a unified set of filters, which operate on volumetric data; mappers, which reduce volume data to lower dimensional geometric primitives; and renderers, which create pictures based on images, three-dimensional geometries, and volumes.These tools are designed as applications within the framework of Stellar@'s Application Visualization System (AVS).We present three examples from different scientific disciplines.
