ANNOUNCING: PV-WAVE:GMVT, Glyph Multivariable Visualization Toolkit
Archive-Name: auto/comp.lang.idl-pvwave/PV-WAVE:GMVT-for-multivariable-vis ualization-using-glyphs
The PV-WAVE:GMVT 1.1 toolkit is now available for visualization of
multivariable/multidimensional data set using glyphs. Files for this
toolkit have been uploaded to ftp://ftp.boulder.vni.com/VNI/gmvt-1_1.
For more details, refer to the following excerpt from the README file:
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------
Visual Numerics, Inc. and
Colorado Advanced Software Institute
PV-WAVE:Glyph Multivariable Visualization Toolkit
February 1995
This is the PV-WAVE:GMVT (Glyph Multivariable Visualization Toolkit)
distribution area which is being provided via the Visual Numerics Early
Adopters Program and is currently available through anonymous ftp at
ftp.boulder.vni.com in the directory ./VNI/gmvt-1_1. The distribution is
only supported for PV-WAVE users at version 5.0 or higher running on a
UNIX platform. However, most of the Base Routines should work fine under
PV-WAVE V5.0 on VMS, Windows and Windows NT platforms, but they will not
be supported.
- OPERATING SYSTEMS LEVELS: the operating system levels consistent with
PV-WAVE:GMVT are those levels currently supported by the operating
system/hardware vendor, and supported by Visual Numerics. To obtain a
current list of PV-WAVE:GMVT compatible operating systems, contact
Customer Support. At the time of the PV-WAVE:GMVT 1.1 release, the
following operating systems were supported:
Operating
Platform System Level
---------------------------------------------
DEC OSF/1 AXP OSF/1 2.0
DEC RISC Ultrix ULTRIX 4.3
HP 9000/s700 HPUX 9.03
IBM RS/6000 AIX 3.2.5
Silicon Graphics IRIX 5.2
Sun4/SPARC Solaris 2.3
Sun4/SPARC SunOS 4.1.3
PV-WAVE Advantage may operate at down level versions of these operating
systems, but differences in operating system versions may cause
unexpected behavior. Down level operating system versions are not
supported.
- WINDOW MANAGER LEVELS: PV-WAVE:GMVT was tested using the following
window managers:
Operating Window
Platform System Level Manager
---------------------------------------------
Silicon Graphics IRIX 5.3 4Dwm
Sun4/SPARC Solaris 2.3 MWM (OSF Motif 1.2.2)
Sun4/SPARC SunOS 4.1.3 MWM (OSF Motif 1.2)
While PV-WAVE:GMVT may work using other window managers, differences
in implementation from the window managers listed may cause aberrant
behavior when using PV-WAVE. If problems do exist, contact the vendor
supplying the window manager, or switch to one of the window managers
listed above.
To assist us in providing additional PV-WAVE family products via the Early
Adopters Program, we ask that you fill out the form found in the file
Registration_Form and return it to us either by email or U.S. mail. The
addresses are given in the Registration_Form file.
Contents of the PV-WAVE:GMVT distribution include:
gmvt-1_1.tar.Z independent PV-WAVE:GMVT files including this
README.gmvt-1_1, the Registration_Form file,
PV-WAVE:GMVT interface library files, a series of
testing routines, and documentation for PV-WAVE:GMVT.
README.gmvt-1_1 this file.
Installation of PV-WAVE:GMVT requires the following steps:
1. Transfer the file from the anonymous ftp area. Be sure
to set the transfer mode to "binary".
2. Move to the VNI directory where the subdirectories wave and license
exist. (This is the directory that VNI_DIR points to after sourcing
wvsetup.)
3. "Untar" the files as follows:
zcat <path>gmvt-1_1.tar.Z | tar xvof -
where <path> is the location of the tar files pulled down via
anonymous ftp.
4. From the gmvt-1_1 directory, run the bin/make_gmvtsetup script
to create the setup files needed to run PV-WAVE:GMVT 1.1.
5. The PV-WAVE:GMVT installation is now complete. For details on using
PV-WAVE:GMVT, print the postscript file wavegmvt.ps found in
gmvt-1_1/docs. Note that this documentation is being released early
and will contain errors. If you have any questions or comments about
the documentation, please contact Customer Support.
Starting PV-WAVE:GVMT requires the following steps:
1. Source the PV-WAVE wvsetup, or wvsetup.sh, setup file.
2. Source the GMVT gmvtsetup, or gmvtsetup.sh, setup file.
3. Type 'gmvt' at your UNIX prompt. This should start PV-WAVE and
then bring up the GMVT Main ToolBar window.
Test software for the PV-WAVE:GMVT toolkit is also available with the Early
Adopter's version of this software. Read the gmvt-1_1/test/README.test
file for information on running the tests.
For questions about the software or additional assistance, send email to
support@boulder.vni.com
or call the Visual Numerics' Customer Support Line at
