Title: Large-scale remote visualization with ParaView

ParaView is an open-source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization tool. With ParaView you can interactively visualize and analyze 2D and 3D spatial data, animate these datasets in time, and manipulate them with a variety of filters.

Target audience: anyone interested in 3D scientific visualization

Course plan:

• more on animation
• scripting
• remote and parallel visualization

Duration: 3 hours

Level: intermediate

Prerequisites: Some basic knowledge of ParaView materials covered in the introductory visualization course in the morning. Attendees should bring their laptops with the latest version of ParaView installed from http://www.paraview.org/download. No prior visualization experience is required. We will provide sample data and codes for many interactive hands-on exercises, and you can bring your dataset if you would like to visualize it with ParaView.
