Visualization Toolkits Graphics toolkits Open Inventor (MB, D0, BTeV, LSC Demo) License management Custom builds from TGS 3DMastersuite Status – kits for IRIX/RH71/RH73, KCC/GCC* Open Open Inventor (SGI oss - CDF, G4) Coin (Free – LHC, CMS) Status Would like to convert all to free by 10/03, incl me
Graphics Infrastructure Infrastructure Mesa - GL api for Linux (roughly) Motif Qt HEPVis Status – ongoing, stable, good mesa with RH7.3
HEPVis Library of physics graphics shapes and nodes (inventor subclasses) About 50 classes (JCK, J. Boudreau, G. Barrand, G. Alverson, L. Taylor) Linux, IRIX, Sun, Win, compilers Bindings for Xm, Qt, oiv, open oiv, Coin In use at MB, CDF, D0, LHC, CMS, LSC Status – upcoming release (2/28), then interaction with users for LHC deployment
