XVIS 4.2 - A complete data visualization package
FRANK MANSFIELD · 36th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit · 1998
This paper describes XVis version 4.2, which is written in C++ using an object-oriented approach and implementing field data, plot type, and surface type in a way which allows for easy extensibility for future enhancements. XVis is a highly interactive visualization package specifically designed to visualize Computational Fluid Dynamic data. The package allows for multi-window, multi-segment, and profile plot capability for two- and three-dimensional flow fields on structured and unstructured multi-zoned meshes. The graphical user interface is implemented in OSF/Motif and the graphics is displayed using OpenGL. This results in a program that is fairly portable. Additionally, the program is available to DOD institutions and contractors at no cost.
