This class covers the use of OpenDX for still and animated visualization of
data. OpenDX is open source software that runs on UNIX, Macintosh, and
Windows/Windows NT computers. It provides an easily learned, flexible 2D and 3D
graphics environment. OpenDX is currently available on all public UNIX
computers at Dartmouth, or it can be downloaded from the Web at http://www.opendx.org. The first part of the
class is an overview of OpenDX and includes examples from engineering and
science that illustrate different types of visualizations. The second part
covers the use of DX's Visual Program Editor, importing of data into Data
Explorer, techniques for visualizing 2D and 3D data, saving and printing
images, and producing animations for display on the Web.
