Author: Thomas Pönitz (0425863)

This application has been developed in the course of the Visualisierung LU during winter term 2008/2009.
It enables you to visualize flow data and is based on [1] Creating evenly-spaced streamlines of arbitrary density (1997) from Bruno Jobard and Wilfird Lefer.

Graphical User Interface (Overview)

The window consists of 4 panels:

  • Viewport panel: The rendering viewport
  • Line Control panel: Controls the flow lines (step size, line distance, integration method, ...)

  • Transfer function panel: Gives you control over the visualization of the selected data channel

There are additional controls in the window menu:

  • File: load data files
