Title XDataSlice
Revision 1.2
Purpose color-imaging tool for 3D datasets
Package type X-based application program
Application area Visualization
Abstract NCSA X DataSlice is a color-imaging application that was developed to permit analysis of 3D 32-bit floating-point scientific data stored in HDF files. It allows you to view any 2D plane, or slice, of data along the three cartesian coordinate x, y, and z axes in spreadsheet form and as a color raster image; adjust the viewing axes to suit your needs; interpolate raster images from the data slice; load user-defined palettes to enhance imaging and analysis; frame multiple data slices together on the screen; and animate raster images along any coordinate axes. NCSA X DataSlice features synchronized selection between text and image windows; dicing (which allows you to view a data slice as a plane in the data matrix, revealing the relative location of the slice in the dataset); and 3D volume rendering (which allows you to view the 3D dataset as a whole and select and view surfaces within the scientific dataset by setting transfer functions).
