IsoView - The lightweight IsoSurfacer Visualization Client

About

IsoView version 2 was developed to replace IsoView version 1, which was heavily dependent on VTK. IsoView version 2 uses pure OpenGL to handle rendering, making it very lightweight. IsoView V2 is a visualization client originally developed for the CactusCode project at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and now is maintained and developed at Louisiana State University.

Installation

• Get the IsoView source
• Untar the package and enter the IsoView directory
• Alter the make file, changing the second line to match your TCPXX installation
• If you did NOT install fltk to its normal place, or it is not in your path, you will need to edit the makefile some more
• At this point, if everything is setup correctly, and the code gods smile, then all you should need to do is 'make'

• Get the IsoSurface.c file, and place it in: Cactus/arrangements/CactusPUGHIO/IsoSurfacer/src, overwriting the current file
• Now download and use the new parameter file

Tested Platform

• Slackware 10.0 - 2.6.10 on i686 using MESA

• OS 10.3 - 7.6.0 on a PowerBook G4

Known Issues

• You may see some warnings about using deprecated functions during compile. These are related to TCPXX, and I have no control over them.
• When steering, some IsoValues result in very strange results. I believe this is a bug with IsoSurfacer or the simulation, not IsoView.
