OpenDX www.opendx.org My choice... You don't have to limit what you visualize with it. This thing is just plain amazing. Matlab {amongst others {Scilab} can do file conversions for you {take a look at h5 for conversions... maybe Cactus if you really decide to get into it...} Mayavi {If you're into Python...} Grass {I've not used it in years... It was excellent in the late '9os though and it looks like it's gotten "popular".} {maybe vxl... It's a language for "computer vision" ....I'm just setting it up. I'm not quite sure what functionality it might add to your system {s}. ...It looks as though it's got potential though. There *is* a lot of stuff here: http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/cil/ftp/html/vision.html {One of my favorite web pages. :}} Don't blame me if you download it and it's useless. It *seems* really similar to: VTK/ITK http://public.kitware.com/VTK/ http://www.kitware.com/case/vtkinuse.html {Do take a look at what they're doing with some of their projects.} Oh... thanks for the hint about the above... I was at the page the other night and decided I didn't have time to mess with it... after reading a bit more it looks as though it could be excellent though....
