Boston University’s Scientific Computing and Visualization (SCV) group will present a hands-on introduction to the scientific visualization package ParaView. This tutorial will get members of the Boston University community started using the ParaView software package and take them through the most commonly used visualization techniques.
ParaView is an open-source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization application built on top of VTK. ParaView offers non-programmers much of the capability of VTK without requiring them to write programs. Through exploration and interaction users can quickly build visualizations to analyze their data using qualitative and quantitative techniques.
During this tutorial we will cover the ParaView visualization pipeline, ParaView data types, the ParaView user interface, and common visualization techniques such as Color Mapping, Cutplanes, Contours/Isosurfaces, Hedgehogs, Oriented Glyphs, and Streamlines.
There is no charge for this tutorial, but we ask that you register.
