External documentation for popular visualization packages
ParaView
ParaView is a general-purpose 3D scientific visualization tool. It is open source and compiles on all popular platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac), understands a large number of input file formats, provides multiple rendering modes, supports Python scripting, and can scale up to tens of thousands of processors for rendering of very large datasets.
VisIt
Similar to ParaView, VisIt is an open-source, general-purpose 3D scientific data analysis and visualization tool that scales from interactive analysis on laptops to very large HPC projects on tens of thousands of processors.
VMD
VMD is an open-source molecular visualization program for displaying, animating, and analyzing large biomolecular systems in 3D. It supports scripting in Tcl and Python and runs on a variety of platforms (MacOS X, Linux, Windows). It reads many molecular data formats using an extensible plugin system and supports a number of different molecular representations.
VTK
The Visualization Toolkit (VTK) is an open-source package for 3D computer graphics, image processing, and visualization. It consists of a C++ class library and several interpreted interface layers including Tcl/Tk, Java, and Python. VTK is the base of many excellent visualization packages including ParaView and VisIt.
Visualization on new Compute Canada systems
This section will be updated as the new systems start coming online beginning in the fall 2016.
Upcoming visualization events
- October 2016 visualization challenge - details will be posted in September 2016
- fall visualization webinars: September, November
- fall visualization workshops: UBC, UVic, SFU
