Hi all,

A lot of our customers have been asking whether we know of anyone
who is writing a "math expression evaluator" module.  By this, I
mean a module which can take in one or more fields and a string
which describes a mathematical expression on those fields to create
an output field:

	out = (in1 * in2) / 12.3
or
	out = sqrt((in1*in1)+(in2*in2))
or
	out = 1.0

That sort of thing.  If anyone out there has written such a thing
and would like to earn the gratitude and respect of their peers -
please submit it to the International AVS Center (avs.ncsc.org,
ftp site 128.109.178.23) or send me mail or both.

Thanks in advance,
larryg

Hi,

   We are running AVS 3.0 on an RS/6000 that has a 24 bit high performance
graphics adapter. After installing the latest OS update, AIX 3.2.1, we find
that avs no longer works. When invoked, it produces the following error
message:

 gl: ginit: 1345-071 Incorrect hardware to support property specified. Colormap 
 properties are unsupported.

Does anyone know what the problem is?

I'm need to get specific information from the geometry viewer, such as rx, ry, ry, tx, ty, tz, sx, sy, sz, for objects, instead of the transformation matrix.  I think that it's possible to extract this info from the info send upstream (i.e. the xform matrix) but I think that it would involve a system of equations.  There must be an easier way!!!  Anyone know of one???

Thanks in advance!

Well, I won't write it (got a few too many irons in the fire alread...),
but it sounds like one nice related module someone could write would
just be a MathLink module, which took an expression, sent it off to 
Mathematica, blocked on the result, and then sent that out the bottom.

Should be pretty easy, maybe I will write it...

With Mathematica 2.1 and AVS 4.0, I'd say it would be a few days work (tops).

I have to get my home copy of Mathematica upgraded from 2.0 first, though...

I am looking for AVS modules that can control remote video
devices (in particular, laser disc and betacam equipment). I
think that a ``VCR'' style interface (similar to that of the
Animator) through which one can control read/write access
(perhaps also identifying the image sink/source) would be 
extremely useful.

I will summarize and post responses.

Thanks.

I will probably have it written in a few days.  I'm using a parsing module that I have been developing for a while now.  However, for now I'm only going to release it as a binary.  Sorry.  My machine is a DECstation 5000/200 PXG, so the binary will be for that machine.

All right, I have finished the Beta of the Math expression parser module.
It accepts 2D uniform fields and performs operations on them.  You can
access a few special variables:

in1, in2, in3   the components of the input fields.
x, y            the coords of the fields.  so if you type out=sin(x)*cos(y)
                you get a nice graph.  Poor man's 3D plotter.
x1-3, y1-3      the size of the fields.

As I mentioned before, I am distributing this as a binary only module.  If you want a DECstation RISC ultrix binary for AVS4.0, mail me.

Hi

I have divided a line into 20 segments and I want to color
each segment and then pass the output to TUBE module which
should display that segment of the TUBE. So, I can simulate
as if color is gradual flowing thru the tube.

I guess animated integer might be of help and tried giving
it to the input port of my module. But it didn't work properly
I guess, I might be giving AVSinput_port_changed at the 
wrong place.

Part of my Network:

Animated Integer
|
|
|
My_module
|
|
|
TUBE
|
|
|
Render Geometry
|

DISPLAY PIXMAP

I would greatly appreciate, if you all can suggest a
better way of simulating gradual color flow thru a TUBE.

Why limit it to fields?  I certainly think having the capability of
mapping parameters through expressions is needed just as badly.  It
wouldn't be *that* hard to build a simple 'calc' style module which
parses an expression and operates on inputs (be they fields or
parameters).  Like Wave, I have too many irons in the fire ... at
least until after siggraph.

i would recommend evaluating either mathematica or maple to perform this
task.

avs has supported mathematica since its creation, not news to larryg, but
only outputs directly to the geometry viewer or to threescript data files
which the geometry viewer converts using the filter ts_to_geom. this current
implementation is more of an artifact than a feature which has improved as
avs has matured. i am sure public demand for modern mathematica support
would not fall upon deaf ears.

the uci work with maple and avs was presented at the convex user's group by
steve franklin of which i have the materials should anyone be interested
in a copy.

james, peters@convex.com

Right.  To be more specific, all you need do is take your input stream, 
use MathLink to shove it at Mathematica (you'll want to use Mathematica
2.1), and just blat out the result you get from Mathematica.  Shouldn't
be too difficult, but I certainly won't get around to it before SIGGRAPH.

I believe the unsupported (correct me if I'm wrong) support in AVS is
an artifact of a SIGGRAPH class about 3 years ago (Craig Upson taught it)
which used AVS running on Stellars and Mathematica on a Mac.  I didn't 
go to the class, but I remember Craig showing me the course notes he 
was working on.  

When I used to use Mathematica and AVS on my Titan, I used this, but 
it was clearly a one shot deal (read: done, seemed to work, 
left alone, not developed further).

What exactly would people want to do with such a module?  My imagination
is running low today...

Hi,

We are using ConvexAVS and are trying to write an 
FORTRAN application program.

The code looks like this:

       subroutine AVSinit_modules
        implicit none
        include '/mnt/avs/include/avs.inc'

        integer iport,oport
        external ucd_schnitt

        call AVSset_module_name('ucd_schnitt','filter')
        iport=AVScreate_input_port('gen ucd','ucd',REQUIRED)


        call AVSset_compute_proc(ucd_schnitt)
        return
        end


        integer function ucd_schnitt(structure)
        implicit none
        include '/usr/avs/include/avs.inc'
        include '/usr/avs/include/geom.inc'

C       structure is an integer pointer to an UCD_Structure

        integer gethead
        integer structure
        character*50 name
        integer nameflag
        integer dataveclen,ncells,cellveclen,nnodes,nodeveclen,utilflag
        integer cellsize, nodecsize


        name = '890'
        gethead = UCDstruct_get_header(structure, name,dataveclen,
     &             nameflag,ncells,cellveclen,nnodes,nodeveclen,
     &             utilflag)

         WRITE(*,*) 'hallo'
        write (*,*)structure,name,dataveclen,nameflag,ncells,
     1  cellveclen,nnodes,nodeveclen,utilflag
        ucd_schnitt=1
        return
        end


After compiling this, I get the error messages :
Bus error: inward ring address reference: at 800906be

I believe that the error is somehow connected with the
definition of "name", but I can't figure out how to do it
correct.


Is there anubody who can help me ?


Thanks in advance

For Fortran modules you need to add a call in the Description Function:

	call  AVSset_module_flags(SINGLE_ARG_DATA)

This tells the AVS kernel to pass data as single arguments (pointers)
to the compute process instead of the old (AVS 2) method of passing the 
field dimensions, etc..  as additional arguments which gets messy real
fast (way too many arguments to worry about).

The old way is still the default for backwards compatibility reasons.

Is it at all possible to resize widgets under AVS 3.0
in user-written modules? 

I have a 'typein' widget that is too small for the text to
go in it, and there doesn't seem to be any way to change
its size.  I've tried manually editing the network file,
but that doesn't have any effect.  

Thanks for your help...

I am currently in the early stages of writing such a module for a
project I am involved with.  However, as I say, it's still early,
and if someone else speaks up that they've done it, maybe I'll use
theirs instead.

Don't hold your breath though.  Things are pretty stacked up for
me; in fact, I have several modules that were finished months ago
that will be submitted as soon as I get around to giving them
proper documentation.

Oh, and I will allow parameters to be used in the formula, but it;s
not clear how the number of params and fields should be set up before
the formula is known.

There's a slight bug in the FORTRAN bindings for UCDstruct_get_header.
To work around this, you can use the following procedure: 

1- Get the C version in a local .o file:
   ar xv /usr/avs/lib/libflow_c.a ucd_query.o

2- Write a C function like this one in get_header.c (for example):
#include <ucd_defs.h>
int get_header_(structure, name,dataveclen,nameflag,ncells,cellveclen,
nnodes,nodeveclen,utilflag,lng)
UCD_structure *structure;
char *name;
int *dataveclen, *nameflag, *ncells, *cellveclen,
    *nnodes, *nodeveclen, *utilflag;
long int lng;
{
  int retval;
    retval = UCDstructure_get_header(structure, name,dataveclen,
	       nameflag,ncells,cellveclen,nnodes,nodeveclen,
	       utilflag);
  return(retval);
}

3- Compile it with cc.

4- Modify your FORTRAN source code:
   Add a declaration like this :
 	INTEGER get_header
   And change the UCDstruct_get_header call to get_header.

   In fact, you could even replace UCDstruct_get_header from our distribution,
   but I don't recommend that.

5- Change your makefile to add BOTH ucd_query.o and get_header.o at link time.

That's it.
I checked that it works.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
BTW, doesn't schnitt mean slice in German? there are already a lot of UCD sliocers.

Hi Warren -

You can definitely resize type_in and browser widgets... as far as i
know, you cannot resize dials and sliders - although i have never tried.

here is a sample piece of code:

param = AVSadd_parameter("Connection List", "string", "Connection List",
"", "" );
AVSadd_parameter_prop(param,"width","integer",2 );
AVSconnect_widget(param, "text");

I took this out of the VIEW SHARE module on the ftp site.  If you check out
spec.c their is several examples...

Good luck,

Terry

try this:

	param = AVSadd_parameter("fred", "string", "", NULL, NULL);
	AVSconnect_widget(param, "typein");
	AVSadd_parameter_prop(param, "width", "integer", 6);

The first call declares the parameter, the second establishes the
widget, and the third changes the width.  The manual says that the 
application panel is 4 "units" wide, so I suggested 6, but you can
change that to whatever you like up to 20.  Please refer to the manual
for AVSadd_parameter_prop().

Let me know if this works for you!

Dear Comp.graphics.avs readers:

We are wanting to develop an image touch-up  application  to  fit
into  our  image-processing  system in AVS.  We want to implement
the more crude tools of something like MacPaint, such as  erasing
and  setting  bits  with various brush sizes.  It would seem that
upstream picking would be the way to go.   However,  neither  the
"display image" nor the "display pixmap" module sends picking in-
formation upstream. The only solution we've come up with  so  far
is  quite clumsy: convert the image into a geometry, one cube per
pixel of the image.  Then we can use something like  the  "render
geometry"  which  sends the pick information upstream to a module
which takes the information and modifies the  image  accordingly.
This would work, but surely there is a better way.  If anyone has
ever done anything like this in AVS or if they have some ideas on
how  to  do  it  in a not-so-awkward way, I would appreciate your
help.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but it seems straightforward - implement
your own module which takes an image as an input and implements upstream
data.  I've written a fair number of modules which implement upstream
data - it's documented fairly well, and there is at least one shipped
example (with source) - the pick cube code.  You can define your own
upstream data type if that's more useful to you than the two AVS defines
for you. 

Let me know if that's clear.

AVS 4.0 will ship to KPC Titan customers who are under maintenance
Monday July 13. SO you may expect it to arrive via FED X approximately
2 days thereafter. This version has passed extensive testing, and is
quite a stable version. It contains all of the 4.0 features.

Given a scanned image of a map from an atlas (B&W) which is single band,

Is is possible to extract different overlays from this image? For exmaple

I tried different aproaches with no luck. Is there any one doing similar thing

this usually indicates the premature demise of module connected in a
network. avs modules talk to each other via sockets.

i would recommend to anyone who has access to convexavs3.0 to use the online

to use the all the features accessing it from within avs is recommended.

In an easy to understand translation, it means AVS barfed.
The end of socket is similar (I think) to segmentation fault.

Check out the track_cursor module on the ftp site ( 128.109.178.23 )
This is an awesome module that displays an image, and then sends upstream
picking info.  There is source there as well...

Good Luck -

We have avs v4.0 running on our HP 720 CRX24Z workstation, and we have
been learning how to use the program for a couple of weeks now. 

However, previously we have been using software rendering. In order to
run with hardware rendering, I just installed the HP-PHIGS library as
well as the HP Powershade software on the machine. Now we get tons of
problems resulting in a huge core file being dumped to disk.

The avs install says to use v2.11 of the phigs library - I have what I
assume is a later version, v2.2. 

The errors look like this: 

HP_PHIGS on HP-UX: Error 904 was detected in function 0
Input/Output error has occurred while sending data to a workstation
POPPH

Starbase error 6: Improper parameter value
Procedure name:         push_matrix3d
File descriptor:        6
Device file name:       /dev/null
...


These messages appear at startup. If I try to do anything substantial
(anything at all), more messages appear, mostly having something to do
with those push_matrix3d calls, and then the whole thing dies.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Recently there has been discussion concerning modules that can
"interpret" ascii commands at run time and perform operations on
fields.  Recently, the people at Research Systems, Inc. (RSI)
have turned their IDL (Interactive Data Language) product into an
AVS coroutine module.  It allows multiple field and parameter inputs,
allows interactive manipulation of the fields and interactive output
of fields.  For example:

fieldout = float_parm1 * fieldin_1 * cos( float_parm2*fieldin_2 / 3.14159 ))

In addition to the interactive capability as a coroutine, the module
can also work as a subroutine module.

The "avsidl" module is currently in alpha test (I have a copy :))
and I can say it works well.  New modules like the one above in about
1 minute instead of the edit-compile-debug process usually associated
with writing a new module!!

I believe this kind of module where one can manipulate fields with a
powerful interpreter is the neatest thing to happen to AVS since
remote module execution.

>From what I understand, the AVS interface to IDL is included with
the Convex version of IDL, but I'm not sure about other platforms.

Contact Steve Richards at RSI (303) 786-9900 for more information.

I am a newcomer in AVS and also a newcomer in the field of electronic
mailing lists. Therefore you may excuse, if something is going wrong.

I have a problem with the graph viewer modul in the following
network:

-------------------
| graph viewer    |
-------------------
             |
-------------------
| render geometry |
-------------------
             |
-------------------
| display pixmap  |
-------------------

The picture is shown in the graph viewer window but not in the
display pixmap window. I suspect that the graph viewer module
does not produce any geom output.
I am using this network because I would like to use the render geometry
output as input to a postscript dump modul, which will produce a
coloured postscript dump.
We are running AVS version 3 on a GS2000.
Can anybody help me?

hello dieke,

convexavs3.0 has the source code for video output to Diaquest ImageNode
located in /usr/avs/examples/imagenode. this would probably serve as a good
template should you have to write your own interface to the ultra framebuffer.
for further information reference the manual Animating AVS Data Visualizations

Has somebody ever made an attempt to interface UNIRAS with AVS ?
I mean, making use of the FGL and AGL ibraries (: not the stand-alone stuff).

At first, I was thinking of making a GEOM-UNIRAS multi-driver.
However, at our CONVEX installation, this quickly turns out to be impossible,
because the UNIRAS libraries are in "native" while the AVS libraries are in
IEEE floating point format. Therefore it seems (?) that their routines cannot
be used together. Am I wrong here? Is it possible to fool the system?

Due to the floating point formats, it is also impossible to plug the beautiful
user-interfaces of AVS into our UNIRAS programs, and make (much more usefull)
modules out of them. (Well, I _could_ order an IEEE version of UNIRAS too ;-)

Next, I tried to devise a Raster Driver, which creates a UNIRAS Data Base,
and an "S-driver" to read it and to convert the data into AVS Image Format.
But I'm working on that for two days now, and so far my attempts are _not_
successfull (mainly due to my inexperience in writing S-drivers for UNIRAS.
They seem to be awfully complicated anyway.)

Has somebody actually done things like this before? And is he/she willing to
share his/her results with me?

I've been using AVS under version 1+2 (on a now defunkt stellar) for a 
long time. Now that we are testing version 4 (on a VAX), and I keep noticing 
the exhortations not to use AVS_build_field.
Naturally I am very addicted to it :(. What I cant figure out is how exactly
to replace the calls to AVS_build field. I know it says to use the 
AVS_data_alloc and AVS_field_alloc routines, but I'm still confused.
This is what I used to do:

        REAL THETA(NX,NY,NZ,NT) ! POTENTIAL TEMPERATURE (DEGREES KELVIN)
        REAL P(NX,NY,NZ,NT)     ! AIR PRESSURE (PA)
        integer ps

        REAL scalar(2,NX-1,NY-1,NZ-1)

        INTEGER I, J, K
        integer avsbuild_field

        DO 1 K=1,NZ-1
          DO 2 J=1,NY-1
            DO 3 I=1,NX-1

                scalar(1,i,j,k) = theta(i,j,k,now) 
                scalar(2,i,j,k) = p(i,j,k,now) 

3           CONTINUE
2         CONTINUE
1       CONTINUE

        ps = AVSbuild_field(3,2,UNIFORM,3,AVS_TYPE_REAL,nx-1,ny-1,nz-1,scalar)

        call AVScorout_output (ps,pw)


What should I do instead of this with the AVS_build* routines?

There is a bug in the graph viewer: if you READ the data in (using
the graph viewer's read menus), no geometry is produced (as you 
reported).  If you filter data INTO the graph viewer from a network,
then it will work fine.  For instance, the following network works:

	READ FIELD
	    |
	GENERATE HISTOGRAM
	    |
        GRAPH VIEWER
	    |
        GEOM VIEWER

Here is a work around for you:  Create your graph in the graph viewer. 
Use the graph viewer's "Write AVS Geometry Data" option (under "Write
Data") and write the data out to some disk file.  Then go into the 
geom viewer and read that geom data file in.  Not elegant, but it may
help.

sorry for the inconvenience,

Hi AVS users,
	I have a small problem. I am trying to use upstream data
in AVS so that the module is notified whenever the first button
of the mouse is pressed so that I can know the coordinates at
that point. The problem is that sometimes the coordinates 
returned by two or more consecuitive clicks at different places
return the same value of the coordinates. I am using the
same struct upstream_geom as is given in the example pic_cube.c.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

We just got a bunch of HP workstations installed in the Vision Lab

24 bit hardware installed.

The machines in question are HP 750's and 730's.
We are running X11.R4 on HP UX 8.07.

When we go to set up a window, XWindows says that the display depth
is only 8 bits.  However, we happen to know that we have 24 bit
hardware installed.

How do you convince XWindows that there is, actually 24 bit hardware
installed?  Is it in the X Server configuration or something like that?

I am displaying surface temperature satellite data in AV S, and I am rather disturbed at the lack of color
resolution.  By looking at the colormap, it seems there are only twenty or so different colors.  I would like a
smoother gradient, and I think my system (Sun SparcStation) should be able to handle more.   It seems to
have a LOT more colors when displaying images like the mandrill.

Can anyone suggest a way to get more colors?  I've used the edit function in the colormap, and I told it to range
from 0 to 255 instead of 0 to 240, and that's given me some purple (ugh), but I would really like more subtle 
shades of red-orange-yellow-green-blue.

BTW, are there any plans for a keyboard shorthand to doing all the mouse dragging?  i.e.:

   ri>di ... create a ReadImage module and connect it to a DisplayImage module
   ri:bitmap.x ... tell ReadImage what file to display.
   di:d ... tell DisplayImage to dither.

I like having the option to live like a Mac user, but part of the fun of X-Windows is having a choice, hmmm?  And
an additional suggestion: I think that there should be a MIN and a MAX button on the dials.  Sometimes you
turn it and have a TERRIBLE time getting back to where you started.  And there's all that room on the dials... you
could put a small button on the lower left and one on the lower right.

Anyway, speaking of mouse difficulties, there seems to be a problem with the connection routing in AVS.  When a lot of boxes get on the screen, AVS still manages to make the "theoretical" connections to all the appropriate
modules.  But when you actually move to the module you want to connect to, the highlighted pipe doesn't switch.
Nonetheless, when you release the mouse button, the proper connection is made.  Why doesn't the highlight
change when you move your cursor to be closer to a different module?  It just seems to pick one and stick with it.

And while I'm complaining (nobody EVER talks about the things they LIKE!!!), I just wanted to ask about the
connections themselves.  It seems they cross and cover each other rather liberally... even when they don't HAVE
to.  It goes out of it's way to do it, sometimes.  Perhaps a more intelligent algorithm could be constructed?

And I wish AVS supported more image types... like sunrasters.   But if anyone is in need of a module that
reads in uncompressed monochrome sunrasters (we needed it for masking operations), feel free to ask, since
we wrote one.  We are working on integrating a lot of other software/hardware with AVS, and trying to use
AVS for its interface more than for anything else.  This involves modules that formulate queries to database
machines based on input parameters, modules that call SAS for statistical analysis, modules that interface
with ARC/info to formulate GIS queries that create bitmap masks for your data... (i.e. "Give me all the data for
Africa")... so if anyone wants to tell/ask/talk about anything with regards to these subjects, just ask.

<<<?>>> bdickens@elara.mitre.org <<<!>>>

But overall, AVS is a good product, and some people here in the lab have had many hours of fun wrapping
monkeys around teapots, and other such nonsense.  (You should license that Geometry Viewer out to Nintendo...
give them a few sample data sets... that can keep people unproductive for HOURS! <grin>)

We have used AVS 3 with data from a digitized countour map (X,Y,Z coordinates)
to produce a 3-D map.  The secret was to append each coordinate triple
with data necessary for the undocumented, but left over from AVS 1 (?), 
"sphere" module.

If you have your map data regularly spaced on a rectangular grid, then
I believe "field to mesh" will do the job.  Our data set was incomplete
on the grid, but "sphere" let us see what was missing.

Also see the article "Interpolating Gridded Data from Scattered Data in AVS"
by E. Wes Bethel in the AVS Network News, Winter 1992, pg 13 ff.

Field to mesh does not require a uniform field (AVS 4.0 on RS/6000).

Has anyone implemented following features extraction routines?.
These features are mentioned in Pratt's Image processing book on page 646.
He has a reference to this which is unpublished Stanford Research Institute'

of routines which can do following things.


1) The smallest rectangle oriented along the major axis of 
   the object that encompasses the object (Object oriented bounding box)
                                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2) dimensions of object oriented box, width, height

3) the minimum and maximum distance between the centroid and a 
   perimeter pixel

4) The angle of the minimum and maximum radius vector with respect 
  to the horizontal axis

5) ratio of min radius angle to max radius angle.

Hi:

I am faced with following problem to be solved using image processing
techniques:

We are trying to classify different non-lint particles in a cotton sample
using imaging techniques.

Cotton sample after ginning contains different kind of trash material on the
basic of which cotton is graded for it quality. The trash (non-lint particles)
are of type pieces of leaf, bark, sticks, pepper (fine pieces of leaf), 
cotton seed coat fragments, etc. We are looking at different features
of these particles, area, perimeter, shape factor, eccentricity, moments etc.
Using these features we have achieved fairly good classification. We also 
used clustering approaches, Neural nets etc. 

Those who have seen some of these non-lint particles, is these anything else
that we need to consider as feature, in order to get a better 
classification ? Like most of real life problems, one major problem is 
of overlapping clusters of these trash types and increasing feature 
space may improve the classification.

Any suggestions and ideas are appreciated.

We have had a great deal of trouble with the AVS module generator.  It seems to have several bugs (features?)
that we are having problems with.

(1) It crashes whenever you try to have more than 12 parameters.
(2) When it reads in source code and writes it back out again, it will gobble your source code.
(3) The debug option has trouble starting the debugger.
(4) It writes out a makefile even if you don't ask it to.

We are just about ready to give up on the module generator entirely.  Right now I am working on a module that
has exactly 13 parameters.  I can't use the module generator at all.

I have made a UNIRAS hdf-driver, which you can get for free. The beauty 
with hdf is, that you can use UNIRAS to make many (20-40) pictures in
one hdf-file, and with AVS you can show this multi-picture-file, and
you can even make fast animations from the Xserver by storing pixmaps
one-by-one i the Xserver-memory. UNIRAS makes very nice pictures
with axes, notes, colors.

The hdf-driver uses NCSA libaries, but i can also offer you a targa-driver,
which we use to make real movies from a PC with targa-card and video.

If you must have AVS image-file (.x) then the hdf/targa-driver should be easy
to rewrite (you get a 640x480 rasterimage with a 8 bit lookup-table)
or you can convert hdf/targa-pictures with a suitable conversion-package
as "San Diego Image Tools" or the like.

I have lots of topography data that is convenient to read in as a 2D
rectilinear field, where the data variable is elevation, and the
coordinate variables are latitude and longitude.

To render this data usefully with field-to-mesh, it seems I need to convert  
this to a 3D irregular field, where the data variable elevation is
combined with the latitude and longitude to give each elevation point
a 3rd coordinate.

I checked the AVS center, but didn't see anything obvious that would 
do the trick.  Did I miss something there, or does anyone have a unsubmitted
module that would work?

Thanks,

I am just in the process of investigating AVS for its potential application
to our programs. Can some kind person please direct me to (or send) a FAQ
for this group. Is there an ftp archive.

Thanks
Steve

I replied to this person and sent him some code to do what he needs.

After some cleaning up, etc., I'm going to submit it to the IAC.  Basically,
this code takes 2d uniform, rect. or irreg fields and does "texture mapping."
The texture may be set "implicitly", thus requiring subsequent intervention
in the geometry viewer to make the "dynammic" texturing happen, or explicitly
where the mesh vertices are colored according to some input image.  This
latter form clearly has some problems.  I personally like to have all my
textures (ie the image being draped over some surface) explicitly under
my control, which is impossible to do via the geometry vieweer.  I can't
read in two distinct images, do some image processing then use those
results by feeding them directly into the geometry viewer.  There are
prorgrammatic ways around this, as well as writing the processed textures
back out to files then clicking on each in turn from the geoemtry viewer,
but this is a pain in the ole mouse finger.  Also, new users groan
when I try to explain what's going on to them.  Anyway, this new module
(I'll post again when it's ready) will allow the user to specify min/max
for uv coordinates, so that the texture can be placed anywhere on the surface.
Sorry, no funny rotation or amorphic scaling is going to be implemented.
I don't have the time and there is no demand for that here.

Additionally, I just sent over two modules which will read/write ASCII
rectilinear fields.  This was motivated in part by major difficulties
encountered with using the "file descriptor" module, and because of the
need for a simple, brain-dead file format.  

On a related note, the klunky 3D axis module at the IAC has been enhanced
so that it will process 2D rectilinear or uniform fields, obtaining Z values
from the data. 

For some reason, 2D rectilinear fields have been a big hit here this summer.

I hope everyone who made it to Siggraph had fun.  I sat on my butt and
worked (more or less) ;-).
