I've seen a brochure for "PV-WAVE Advantage" that claims
volume visualization capabilities. What exactly has been done
since version 3.1 of PV-WAVE to enable visualization of 3-D
geometries (i.e. functions of three dimensions not 2-D surfaces)?
And more importantly, just how well do these new features work?
What does the product still lack for your area of interest?
Being a novice, it may be possible that there are simplistic
methods for visualizing 4-tuples (both evenly & non- uniformly
gridded data) with our current software (PV-WAVE CL v3.1 &
Point & Click v.1.61). At this point, my only option, as I see
it, is to write a program which enables visualization of
isosurfaces within a dataset (that scares me because I bet it's
more difficult than it sounds; especially since there are products
like explorer and AVS). This sounds like what the "Volume Slicer"
of Advantage does. Am I right? Also, is anyone dis/satisfied
with the "ray-tracing" features incorporated into Advantage?
Are the previously offered math routines any faster since IMSL
came onboard? Is the widget facility rotten/adequate/exceptional,
and with what version was this capability introduced? What is your
general perception of ~Advantage~?
