Hi,

I had been hearing a lot about IDL so finally I convinced my advisor to buy
it :) I am interested in making 3D plots of porous media which would be read
in as a file of 0's and 1's. Thereafter, I would like to superimpose the
velocity field or pressure field inside the media onto the porous media image.
The velocity field would be specified as a matrix of x, y and z components of
the velocity. So it should plot the velocity vectors at each point. The
pressure field would be read in as a file with pressure at each point. Can the
porous media image, the pressure profile and the velocity profile all be
superimposed upon each other?

As of now, I am trying to read the manuals which came with IDL. I have tried
my hand at slicer, shade_volume etc but it'll be a while before I get the hang
of IDL.

In the meanwhile I would appreciate it if someone let's me know if IDL can
plot something to the tune of my requirements. If this sort of plots can be
made in IDL then learning it would take a higher priority. It is my firm
belief that IDL can do something similar b'cos so far (in my reading the
manuals) I have found it to be an extremely powerful tool.

Hope I am not wrong. And thanks in advance for any feedback. Kindly cc to
mohit@uh.edu all your feedback.
